text: There shouldn't be the slightest controversy here. There are no grounds to push religious expression out of public schools when practiced voluntarily and outside of class time. And in fact Christian, Jewish and other faith gatherings are common in our public schools. Nor does letting the kids come up with their own sermons make any difference. They have to be vetted by a teacher for goodness sake! Does anyone imagine that a Bible circle would be held to this standard?  Let's call this for what it is: bigotry against a religious minority fed by fear and ignorance.
