*separation*

Idiot.

WP, separation of church and state doesn't mean people can't pray for themselves. It means the public school can't make everyone pray.

That's why the school didn't suspend them for praying.

And Tebowing isn't necessarily praying, it's a fad like planking.

I agree. The separation of church an state was not intended for school but state government. A school should not be allowed to force the admins beliefs on any student though pertaining to faith. People should be allowed to practice their
faith in a public place as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. If anything the law is created to protect people of faith from a tyranny government.
But what is planking?

They also have freedom of speech in your country. Chuch/state laws exist in the US to help prevent fundamentalist gov's from gaining too much, or abusing power. I think u r confused.
