Yes. Right here: nobody is forbidden to pray in school. Secondly, what do you think would have happened if there was prayer in that school that day? (There was, I'm sure, but the way. But you don't seem to think there was, so we'll go with that.)
Relax, take a deep breath and read it again and think about it:

It was amazing to me to hear the President, the mayor of the town of Newton, and other people calling out and asking people to pray for the victims, and their families... yet, we are not allowed to pray in the very schools BEFORE this tragedy took place, but after the terrible damage has been done, it is time to pray?
Where is their logic, and their reasoning in this? There is none. Let's pray after the damage has been done, but whatever we do, we cannot allow prayer or God in the schools, but as soon as a tragedy occurs, everyone is praying ? I'm scratching my head over this madness.

Does anyone else see the ridiculous in this?
I am relaxed. I took a deep breath. The statement "we are not allowed to pray in the very schools BEFORE this tragedy took place" is still not true. And I'm still wondering what you and others think would have happened differently if people had prayed.

OK, so you meant "state-sanctioned and/or mandatory prayer by students"? Sure you did. But fine. Let me ask about that, then. If there had been state-sanctioned and/or mandatory prayer by students, what do you think would have happened?
And, regarding this: "Well, Timmy, it's not what YOU think about prayers that counts", I haven't even mentioned what I think about prayer. I was asking what you think about it, and in specific, in regards to this incident. You and others write as if you have The Answer. You seem to think you know why it happened, and what would have happened differently if prayer had been "allowed" in school.

Why? Do you actually think this tragedy would not have happened if kids had prayed?
I believe in the power of prayer. Yes what a fanatic I am. I anointed my nephews before they left the house when they were in elementary school. I believe in God's protection. I'm such a nutjob. But how can I be? A long time ago I realized what everyone else is doing wasn't working, so I tried Jesus, and it worked out.
