        Some people think it is all right for the public schools to start each
        day with a prayer.  Others feel that religion does not belong in the
        public schools but should be taken care of by the family and the
        church.

        Have you been interested enough in this to favor one side over the
        other? (IF YES) Which do you think--schools should be allowed to start
        each day with a prayer or religion does not belong in the schools?
