(Bear, where did your post that brought a national perspective to this discussion go? I believe your post, however briefly posted, included all the points of the debate, thus far, including one key questions of the tests of constitutionallity.)




I don't normally post here, and honestly, it appeared to be a thread killer, so I removed it. However, it went something like this.

I believe this topic to be largely geographically based. Growing up my family traveled due to my father being military. However, when he retired we returned home. He was stationed at Shaw when he met my mother, and I and my two brothers were all born at Shaw. That said, while stationed in CA, and playing middle school sports there was no pregame prayer. However, playing HS football in SC, there was a team prayer before each game. I can't believe that if it weren't for the personal beliefs of the coaching staff, that would have happened.

If you do this, you just might be looking at the veterans in attendance.
