This "prayer" was around long before the recent U.S. Federal District Court ruling that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. That ruling has been blocked, pending possible rehearing of the case, but even if it stands, the Pledge would still be allowed in school, but without the phrase "under God" (which was added by Congress in 1954).

There is also no law that prohibits Prayer in school. The supreme court ruling on the separation of church and state simply states that students are allowed to pray if they choose, but that schools (that is, the school's government-paid employees) must not sanction, support or mandate such activity.

As for the origins of the "New School Prayer," its origins go as far back as 1985. The identification of the author as an "Arizona Student" is a recent addition and cannot be verified.

yet, it's a great poem representing what's pretty real issues.
