i do appriciate your reasoning seretogis, but the fact is taht if the court considers this a prayer, or institutionalization of religion, then it doesn't help its constitutionality to be made volentary. So long as the school is the intitiator or supporter...it's a problem. They could have a moment of silence...or kids coudl gather around the flag before school and sing it at the top of their lungs.... but the point is that the kids are informed by their families, their church/mosque/synagogue/community, and their own beliefs as how to make a religious expression...and not just being surrounded by a religious expression created by the school.
i don't think its worth the fight that it will be...so i guess i agree with the spirit of what your saying though....
