However, schools cannot _mandate_ prayer because that would be
"regarding an establishment of religion". Same with the ten
commandments. Posting them on government property would be
establishing a state religion AND preventing the free practice of
other's religions, both of which are prohibited by those exact words
in the Constitution and by Supreme Court rulings.
The intent is to protect people's choice of religion, not to ban all
religion. Banning religion would be against the Constitution.
