Prayer in schools is always Christian prayer, it is always a town Christmas celebration, not Eid, and so on. That's just the briefest bit on a local level. I really don't see why public funds should go to any of it.

Not necessarily lawsuit worthy UNLESS other groups have tried to gain equal time/space and been rejected, IMO. But either way I think it's inappropriate. Oh and we could discuss the conservative christian culture in the military, particularly in the academies, or the discrimination against gay people based on things written in a religious text, or laws against selling alcohol on Sundays.

Two words for you- conscientious objector.
How is that relevant to what I posted? I think you misread me. Unless military chaplains now exist to encourage service members to be conscientious objectors, you're making up your own topic here.
