You make a good point. What particular case are we talking about? Is there an federal appeals court decision in the matter?

Was there an allegation or finding that the voucher plan was a subterfuge or pretext?

Never got to federal court.

What voucher system are you talking about, Whammer Jammer?

Who is the greatest blues man of all time?

That depends on which government you're talking about. The U. S. Government was adopted by the people.

Beats me, dude. When?

Our political rules represent our secular interests, not our religious.

What civil law or policy requires you to trade secularism (the ideology that certain practices or institutions should exist separately from religion or religious belief) for your faith? Are you advocating civil power over your religion?

God does not have jurisdiction over secular education. The civil government does.

How do they surpass it?

Bishop Andrews declared that the schools should be improved by elementary religious instruction. "Gradually," says Mr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of the Industrial Education Society of New York, "all mention of ethics and religion is being eliminated from the schools; and it is even fashionable to make ethics an elective study in our colleges and universities"; and he says that this is producing young men who "look upon fashion or social convenience as the arbiter of morals, and when this stage is reached the disease of moral illiteracy has set in."

--The Evangelical Conference at Washington, Page 649, Rev. Walter Elliott (1888)

"Prayer in public office" sounds like religious right code for civil authority over religion. Are you talking about genuine prayer by a civil magistrate, or a civil authority assuming jurisdiction over the people's prayers?
