In other words, no, you can't find an example of of kids preventing from praying before a game.
Censoring a play is imposing one's moral code on others because it's forcing others, everyone who would like to participate in or view the play, to abide by your code. Reading a prayer over the PA system is imposing one's moral code on others by requiring their participation in a religious ceremony, which, when state-sponsored, is unconstitutional. Preventing this while still allowing students to pray on their own is a defense of first amendment rights on both ends. It allows freedom of religion while not allowing the imposition of one's religious beliefs on others.

Just because you decide to label your position a "defense of freedom" instead of the moralizing it is doesn't make it any more valid. Repetition does not make truth.

Nope. Truth makes truth. My position is consistent for the reasons given.
