I agree. these young man are doing nothing wrong, but they are being lead by a few zealots who are telling them to do. Some of this sound like what those Baptist wacko's who went to Haiti would come up with.

For Matt81, Harry Lamar, my12floz, bbd, and others; you do not need to pray for me to night, or have God bless Me, or invokwe Jesus for me. I will take my chances with my God, with with my prayers, in the privacy of my house or in my church.

And for Windjammer: Butt out big guy. I am in no way an atheist. And, I do not impose my beliefs on anyone, nor should anyone impose their's on me.

As I said previously, anyway you describe this proposal, it is still prayer. Why not just do what the KSHSAA position states: have a moment of silence, meditation, and personal thoughts. Plus have what ever you are going to have in a private place--a class room or hallway, but not in the gymn, foyer, or commons area, and have it completed before the start of scheduled sanctioned events.
