Prayer in school. Algebra and geometry are also useless.?
I think the Bible is a dumbed down version of morality. Instead, priests pastors and preachers need to go into schools to apologize for all the lies that have been told about atheists pagans and s.s.s.s.stutterers. No offense of course. How about some brilliant insights into why prayer in school would hurt or benefit our culture.

LMAO At John's answer.
I think the purpose of school is to merely learn things for the future profession. If you want to be a minister, study bible courses.

Prayer in school would be a good thing, if people can mean what they pray. Most people who claim to be Christians believe in homosexuality/lesbianism, gambling, smoking/chewing tobacco, drinking booze, using "recreational drugs", fornication (more than 50% of all births are to un-wed mothers and has been for more than 40 years), etc.
I would have to say that I have not really used either algebra or geometry in life, except to advance another grade in school, then on to college, and then to graduate school. I was never really good in math (mostly earned Bs) but on both the G.M.A.T and G.R.E. I scored above the 50th percentile, so I must be better than most!
So, I will have to fall back on what I have read:
#1. Math is the only pure science, and it is a universal language. (Some claim music is, but interpretation of music depends upon your language/religion/politics [ethnicity].)
#2. Math enables people to use more of their brains and to learn how to learn.
So, we definitely need to keep algebra & geometry. Besides, geometry is fun! (Think of all the geometric designs.)
I attended church all the time when I was young and took Bible & Philosophy in college, so I can truthfully state I have never heard of any lies that preachers/priests/etc. told about pagans/atheists. To me, pagans/atheists (including Obama, Hillary, Pelosi) need to go to school to learn the TRUTH!

prayer in school violates the 'freedom of religion'.
if you wanna pray to your invisible man, then do it quietly
