Does this ruling just mean it can't be "required"? I just don't understand why taxpayer money needs to be spent fighting something that someone could just get a religious exemption to doing. If that man didn't want his child to say it then he should have told him to just keep his mouth shut and let the others practice THEIR freedom of religion by reciting it!! I had a guy who was an atheist in my choir class and he simply did not participate in prayer before concerts, but he did not try to stop others from doing so. I'm tired of MY rights being infringed upon.
