>Anybody here go to a public school that started the day with a prayer? Anybody remember how it worked?

I went to a public school here in Louisville, KY back in the 80s and although we did not start the day with a prayer, the 10 Commandments were posted in various rooms throughout the school, including the vice-principal's office. I wish I would have been more politically astute in those days, and pointed out that he was breaking the law by doing that. That would have been a fun thing to say as I was being punished :-).

The posting of the 10 Commandments is still going on here in public schools in KY, despite rulings by the KY Supreme Court that they should be removed.
