>>Republican presidential hopeful Steve Forbes is heading toward big showings

>Steve Forbes with his flat tax has dared to declare what any honest person

>>There is no evidence that the flood of letters to newspaper
>>opinions columns, calls to afternoon radio talk shows, or op-ed
>>pieces by columnists is generating any momentum for a school
>>prayer amendment on capitol hill -- at least yet. But there is a
>>significant outcry for school prayer, not just from the country's
>>religious right, but commentators such as Betsy Hart, a
>>contributor to CNN and the Fox News Channel. In her current
>>column, "The need for prayer in schools," Hart criticizes "the
>>ACLU's best attempts in recent decades to ban religion-specific
>>prayer and other similar religious references and activities from
>>the public classrooms." Hart likewise repeats the Christian
>>"horror stories" about students not being permitted for wear tee
>>shirts with Christian slogans, or the case of a youngster
>>ostensibly prohibited from mentioning Jesus in an essay -- tales
>>which have been called into question for their accuracy before
>>-- and describes this as part of a "successful crusade" to thwart
>>religious expression by students.
