It's a step in the right direction . . . in the deep south, no less!
A Georgia school has had to stop two teachers from praying in class and from ostracizing students whose parents complained. Students whose parents objected to the prayers were made to sit out in the hall, while the rest of the class prayed. One first-grader was told that his Mother was "bad" because she didn't believe in god. He eventually bowed to peer pressure and joined in with his class, against his Mother's wishes. The boy's family received a settlement, and the school promised to enact training sessions for teachers, reminding them that they cannot lead prayers or proselytize in any manner inside a public school building.
