Alabama Republican criticised over school prayer bill

An Alabama Republican lawmaker is facing criticism over a bill that would require prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Critics say he admitted that a proposed moment of silence would not create the "contagious" religious effect on children that he is seeking, fuelling accusations from secular groups and commentators that the measure is an attempt to push Christianity into public education.
Why now: The lawmaker's reported admission about the bill's religious intent has reignited debate over church-state separation in schools.
