The bolded statement is pure bullshit and you know it. It's like trying to claim that schools infringe upon your right to eat breakfast because they don't serve it. If the student wants to pray silently what's to stop them? And you still haven't answered why these morning prayers HAVE to be performed in school. Why not at home or on the way to school? WTF do these poor kids do on weekends with no school to pray in?
Who cares why they want to do it in school? The fact is, they do, and can't. That is infringement of their right to freedom of religious expression.
If 91% of the taxpayers in a school district vote that they want a moment of prayer in school, they should get it. Instead, the big mouth representing the 9% gets catered to and the Constitution purposefully misinterpretted to do so.
It's called tyranny of the minority, nothing more nor less.
The Exclusionary Clause does not state religion cannot exist within government facilities. It states that the government itself cannot endorse a specific religion.
