Prayer in school, revisited.
<snip>

Coach Marcus Borden used to bow his head and drop to one knee when his football team prayed. But the Supreme Court on Monday ended the practice when it refused to hear the high school coach's appeal of a school district ban on employees joining a student-led prayer.

1. "Dear Lord, we ask your gracious blessing upon us as we take the field to
smear the ever-lovin' crap out of our opponents, the visiting team..."

5. LOL. True. The Lord must be a HUGE sports fan.

6. There you go on that slippery slope -
first, get rid of prayer; then, get rid of sports. What's next? Get rid of teacherS having sex with their students?

What about TRADITION?!
