[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 4084677, member: 20480"]Easily answered, as the two are indeed different. Attending public school is mandatory, regardless of religious affiliation, if any, or none at all. Time set aside for prayer is time dedicated to an activity in which some may wish not to participate. School children did not opt to be in that setting and are, in effect, a captive audience. Using cash isn't forced upon you . . . moreover, reading those itty-bitty, inconspicuous letters on coins and bills isn't either . . . those are choices made of your own free will. If one has no choice but to give his / her time / attention to the beliefs of another because he / she is a captive audience, that is wrong, and should be interpreted as unconstitutional. It is not wrong, and should not be considered unconstitutional if one is freely able to turn the other cheek without suffering the loss of money, time or productivity.[/QUOTE]
