WASHINGTON (AP) - The Reverend Barry Lynn, who heads Americans United for Separation of Church and State, is casting a suspicious eye on today's prayer gatherings around school flagpoles.
Organizers predict that some two million students nationwide will participate in today's 19th annual "See You At The Pole" events.
Lynn says students can pray whenever they want, but warns that public school teachers who join them may be unconstitutionally endorsing religion. He also objects to pastors taking part.
See You At The Pole organizers say the prayer gatherings are student-initiated and student-led, and take place outside of instructional time.
