Mike, are you claiming that American public school students are legally prohibited from voluntarily organizing prayer groups? 'Cause I'm pretty darn sure that there's no such prohibition. (The Supreme Court has said that student-led prayer at school-sponsored events like football games is establishment of religion, but not voluntary prayer groups held before or after classes, or prayer during free time or lunch.)
