A recent story from CNN caught my eye;<blockquote>"Lay and Freeman could have faced up to six months in prison and fines if convicted. They were accused of violating a consent decree banning county school employees from initiating prayers during school events."
"The tradition of offering prayer in America has become so interwoven into our nation's spiritual heritage that to charge someone criminally for engaging in such a practice would astonish the men who founded this country on religious liberty."</blockquote>Florida school officials won't go to jail for praying
I'm astonished. It is downright amazing to me that in the US, people can seriously be put in jail for praying.
