Now I'm confused. Now you acknowledge that the schools are in clear violation of the rules - not the guidelines.
But, nice to see you coming up with some arguments in favour of the action. I respect this view of yours in favour of the Lord's Prayer being said by all. (I personally don't have an issue with this - but am just pointing out that this IS in violation of the code).
In favour of what action? I don't favor prayer in school by either religion. You can't pick and chose what is right or wrong, who can, who can't when there is one rule to follow. Separation of church and state - full stop.I'm not sure which article you read which said that the school is following guidelines - it can't be the one I linked to about the schools in Manitoba who are in violation of the rules.
