FoxNews.com reports that incidents of prayer being challenged as unconstitutional are becoming increasingly common. One of the most recent high-profile cases involves police telling a group of schoolchildren to stop praying on the steps of the Supreme Court because it is illegal.
Arizona school children are told they can’t pray in front of the Supreme Court building … Two University of Texas Arlington employees are fired for praying over a co-worker’s cubicle after work hours … In Cranston, R.I., a high school banner causes controversy when a parent complains it contains a prayer and demands that it be removed.
