Calling the ACLU
Apparently, prayer in NY public schools is OK, as long as you're Muslim. Now, I'm not real big on praying myself, and in fact think that the best way to resolve this issue would be to simply abolish public schools, but given that that's not going to happen any time soon, can someone from the ACLU explain to me why you can pray to Allah, but not to Christ, in a public school? Why a generic prayer (or even a moment of silence) is "government establishment of religion," but an explicitly Islamic prayer on school grounds, during school hours, is not? My email address can be found to the left, for any who wish to take up the challenge...
