I am a spiritual person but not really a religious person so this is not a religious problem for me but a "what are they thinking" question for me.
I was watching the new this afternoon and they were having and piece on the Senate Chaplain. They were showing him giving his prayer to start the session. I have absolutely no problem with this. My problem is why is this fine for the Senate but not for our schools?
And before you come back with the schools have children with differing religions or no religious beliefs at all, I would think that that could be applied to anywhere including the Senate.

So tell me, why is this OK?

By the way the journalist on the show asked this question right after I turned to my wife and asked it and the chaplain said he thought that taking prayer out of the schools was a mistake.
