Im pointing out that he would be "exposed" to praying (since someone wants to play semantics with the word subject to) one way or the other and there is nothing anyone could do about it.
Simple yes or no question for you:

Do you think there's a difference between being "exposed" to religious speech by overhearing private individuals praying near you versus being "exposed" to religious speech when a representative of the government delivers a prayer at the graduation ceremony of your public school?

A little common sense and a little compromise and none of this has to happen though...not sure that is even debateable..
Damon proposed a common-sense compromise right from the start (moment of silence instead of public Christian prayer). What do you think he should have done? Sat silently while the school administration violated his constitutional rights because hey, it's only two minutes of his life, big deal, right? That's not a compromise. That's rolling over and taking it.
