<p>Oh my. We are in trouble if a Mid believes he/she doesn’t even have the “right” or “personal power” to TAKE a moment of silence in his/her day but it must be organized and given by the USNA. Sheesh. Don’t allow the risk of state sponsored religion. Let the individual TAKE whatever moments they need to pray if they so choose. Sheesh. I wonder how many Mids who claim the “need” for the noon prayer have stood up and demanded a “morning” prayer, a and an “evening” prayer for that matter. Why not before each class…each trip to the potty. Should my brothers demand the right to wear their Yalmulke at the USNA because not permitting so would infringe on THEIR right to practice THEIR religion? Is there discrimination because I noticed that the Basics at USAFA were given chapel time before the Friday night sabbath, not during but chapel time on the Sunday version of the sabbath wasn’t interfered with. Hmmm. Oh ACLU???</p>
