And I don't think proponents of prayer in school are thinking this through. They are just focused on indoctrinating with White Nationalist Christianity, they don't realize their tax dollars would also be paying for schools focusing on OTHER religions, ones with contrary beliefs. For example, in the Jewish religion @borti0n is not forbidden, in fact the life of the mother is prioritized.

That's why our forefathers came to this country in the first place! For the freedom to be able to choose our own religions freely, without being influenced by the government! When I attended a Public School in the early 60's we were given a separate room & time before school began, to meet & say prayers or whatever, if we chose to do so. I think that's fair. There were never any squabbles or anything of the like over our religious beliefs. Everything took place outside the school rooms & regular hours. Other than that, there were Private Schools, or what were called Parochial Schools, that Parents paid tuitions for their children to attend.
