I propose all the do-gooders donate money to a fund to alleviate the cost to the Sheriff's Office. It's your law, you pay for it. They may be busy watching scantily clad women dance, making sure your morals aren't offended. America is not a democracy or theocracy run by mob rule. America is a constitutional republic where the rule of law is how we abolished slavery, gave women the vote, and why Mr. Holdway can express his views without fear of being murdered like those in fundamentalist countries.
Children already have the right to pray at any time, including a moment of silence.
In fact, one juvenile cult in Gate City left an on-campus prayer meeting on March 15 to disrupt school, claiming they couldn't pray. Mr. Holdway would probably object, not wanting his children abused as he proposes for others. As for flags, I'm one veteran nobody will tell when to salute my flag. This region has the lowest educational attainment in the nation, and our teachers shouldn't be wasting time on religious crusades. Mr. Holdway's attitude is an embarrassment to good Christians, and I hope they speak out against this.
