Perry Wants Constitutional Amendment for Prayer in Schools
In an ad released last week, Perry declared that President Barack Obama was waging a "war on religion" because gays are allowed to serve openly in the military and children aren't allowed to pray in schools.
"It was the Supreme Court, back in 1962, that decided -- and it's been upheld since then -- that children couldn't pray in school," Fox News host Chris Wallace told Perry Sunday. "Barack Obama had nothing to do with that."
"I would support a constitutional amendment that allows children to pray in school anytime that they would like," Perry declared. "I happen to believe that ought be a local decision, and that's not the Supreme Court's business to be telling Americans when and how they should pray."

This guy is crazy! He does not at all support prayer in his school, he supports Christian prayer, if a few muslim kids took to knees facing Mecca in one of these lessons he has in mind, he would be outraged.
I think he's taking a gamble with the crazy christian population. Thankfully, whoever is running his campaign is an idiot. While we have the world's share of christian fundies, we don't have so many as to allow Perry's kind of shit to get him elected.
HORSESHIT!!!
That is why there is 30sec of silence.
Anyway, like you said Skeeve, there isn't enough support for him. I really like how he blames Obama for it too.
