Readers Write: Myth of a 'ban' on school prayer; Modeling respect for Afghans

08/05/2013 11:50 am ET Letter for the Editor for the August 5, 2013 weekly print issue: Shorthand references in headlines to a Supreme Court 'ban' on school prayer are misleading. The meat of the recent cover story makes clear the court did no such thing. The 'ban' language is part of a campaign by those who want to return government-mandated religion to public schools. Can Afghanistan defend itself? The more important question to ask is whether the people of Afghanistan can defend themselves from themselves. Americans can never force Afghan citizens to treat each other in a certain way. They can only model respectful treatment.
