ACLU seeks probe into school's test prayer

A middle school principal has been told it was inappropriate to have teachers give students a prayer asking God to help vanquish their "enemies" -- the standardized tests they were about to take.

[...] The prayer, which had errors in grammar and punctuation, states: "I receive your help faith, knowing that through you I shall do valiantly, for you are the one who treads down my enemies.(LEAP, Iowa)".

Bleah - as if the minimum security prison atmosphere, illiterate underpaid teachers, over-crowded classrooms and lack of basic services in some of the schools wasn't bad enough...
