School officials in prayer case could get jail time

If I were a school principal, and I stood up at lunch, quieted the room, and offered a prayer to Ingvi-Freyr, I would expect to be fired. If the school district were properly run, there'd be no need to jail these morons, as they would never have had the opportunity to defy a court order. They'd be unemployed.

But what really burns me up about these kinds of cases is the sure knowledge that the same folks bemoaning the jailing of these men for a "simple prayer" would be leading the charge for their jailing had they prayed to the wrong god(s).

Maybe they'll get cellmates named "Bubba"...

Two Florida school administrators were due to appear in federal court Thursday to face contempt charges for saying a prayer at a school luncheon.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
