Awesome!
Illegal things are amusing when it's the school district doing it.
I don't get that court decision.
Why can't the kids do what they want?

It would be the majority imposing their view on the minority. Not that I am against the prayers or anything.

the school prayer thing makes me want to stab everyone everywhere ever
on personal fancy alone i would agree with the aclu's stated opinions, namely that it doesn't really matter what the students are doing so long as they aren't being coercive or distracting and that the teacher isn't involved. though even that's a bit difficult, deciding what exactly would constitute school-sanctioned speech. for instance in the case you're refering to in the title, the giving of 30 seconds or so of air time over the loudspeakers is pretty obviously an extraordinary action and rightly was seen to be illegal. but then, say, the speeches of valedictorians which some aclu affiliates disapprove of seem pretty legit, seeing as the students are getting the platform to speak not by virtue of their message but because they're valedictorian (though of course if these speeches were coercive that would be every bit as unacceptable as if someone used their valedictorian speech to call someone out).
