Dear Joe Guarino: "Perry wants constitutional amendment for prayer in schools" Do you agree?

"As president, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) says he would fight for a constitutional amendment to allow prayer in schools.

...Perry declared that President Barack Obama was waging a “war on religion” because gays are allowed to serve openly in the military and children aren’t allowed to pray in schools.

“It was the Supreme Court, back in 1962, that decided — and it’s been upheld since then — that children couldn’t pray in school,” Fox News host Chris Wallace told Perry Sunday. “Barack Obama had nothing to do with that.”

...Wallace noted that the ban on prayer in schools had continued under both Republican and Democratic Presidents.

“I’m telling you what I believe, Chris,” Perry replied. “Americans don’t agree with that decision that was made in 1962, and if we have a constitutional amendment election across this country allowing our children to pray in school, I will suggest to you it will pass overwhelmingly.

And I’ll support that.

I will go across this country,
...I will work on ...an amendment to allow our children to pray in school.”

Raw

If the Supremes said no prayer in schools,
why should prayer be in taxpayer funded public meetings?
