1. The implicit parallel seems to be sex education. One indeed wonders what the net effect of ignoring sex would be on student sexuality—and what that might imply about the net effect of ignoring religion on student religiosity.

2. The first lawsuit challenging the teaching of intelligent design was filed in December of last year. See Kitzmiller v. Dover Area Sch. Dist., 2005 WL 578974 (M.D. Pa. Mar. 10, 2004); Banerjee, Neela, School Board Sued on Mandate For Alternative to Evolution, N.Y. Times A31 (12 15, 2004), available at 2004 WLNR 14134499Google Scholar.

3. The federal courts are going different directions on this question. Compare Adler v. Duval County Sch. Bd., 250 F.3d 1330 (11th Cir. 2001) (suggesting that such prayer is permissible), with Lassonde v. Pleasanton Unified Sch. Dist., 320 F.3d 979 (9th Cir. 2003) (suggesting that it is not).
