I wasn't referring so much to the legality of the situation, but rather the ethics. It angers me that young children are caught in the middle of all this crap because a loud minority of people want to combine the schools with the churches regardless of the fact that every American has the right to practice whatever religion they choose.

Just out of curiosity, what would it take for the law to see her as an authority figure? Would she have to be paid by the school? If so, what about people who volunteer at schools? Would she have to have a degree in education? If so, what about teacher's aids who don't yet have their degree? It's an interesting question actually.
