Huh. My experience with people saying we need prayer back in schools is that they (explicitly and are happy to tell you so) want a return to government employees leading other people's children in prayer.
That is part of it of coarse, but that will begin at home and take decades to get it back where it was. Those who believe that prayer in school will resolve a social problem as great as we have now are not being realistic.

In the most emphatic way.

Yeah, about right.
It's already happening in many places, these people are more interested in their lives than serving and worshiping God. I have totally rejected such actions and I'm as pro gun as anyone else, the church is no place for fighting.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
