I think they banned regular prayer initiated by the faculty or something, like a teacher couldn't get on the loudspeaker and go "OK kids, let's pray now..."

Back in the day when I was in elementary school they still said the Lord's Prayer during morning announcements. There were a couple kids who were Jehovah's Witness's and they were excused and got to sit in the bathroom while it was going on.

so basically if you claimed to not be christian you would eot a free pass to play gameboy in the restroom

in Chibis school they just had the moment of silence, if you wanted to pray, do so, if not shut up, or draw or something quiet

Now you know how we feel when religious festivals are celebrated in what is supposed to be a secular nation.

Why can't Darwin's birthday by a national holiday? At least we know that he did exist at some point

What do you do in a moment of silence?
And why is it silence? The guy we are honoring is dead! What good would silence do? It's not like he's gonna wakeup now!
Why not a moment of screaming? Seems more appropriate to me!

what are you talking about

Jesus is hardly mentioned outside of the church on Christmas, and even easter

but on a serious note, how did Easter become about a bunny laying eggs?

give it a good 2000 years and the people of that time will say he didn't exist ether

it was simply a moment of silence, it wasn't to honor anyone

it was a chance to pray if you wanted to, finish up last minute homework, or what chibi did draw

lol you over think things
