Tell us exactly where in your cited quote Madison said anything about taking down prayers from the walls of schools. When you can do that, you have an argument. You cannot take a few words from Madison and use them to promote your agenda. You must look at 18th and early 19th century practice as a whole and not cherry pick a quote you think supports your minority position.
Open prayer has not been allowed in our schools since 1962
I'm familiar with the ban. I hold that the SCOTUS got it wrong.
They didn't get it wrong. They never should have "gotten" it to begin with.
The U.S.C. does not give them any power to meddle in local affairs. It is silent on States powers regarding religion and, via the 10th, that means the states have all the power in this area.
