WNDU - Indiana - Headlines  Ind. lawmaker wants 'Lord's Prayer'
in schools  By: The Associated Press Email  A Republican state
senator is pushing for Indiana's public school students to start
the school day by reciting the "Lord's Prayer."  Sen. Dennis
Kruse of Auburn has filed legislation that would allow school
districts to require the prayer to be recited, but would also
grant broad exemptions.  The measure could have trouble moving
its way through the Legislature because it's been bottled up in
the Senate rules committee. But it's part of a broader push by
Kruse and other lawmakers to put religion in Indiana's public
schools.  Kruse sponsored a bill last year seeking to allow
schools to teach creationism, the religious belief that life and
the universe were created by a deity.  He's altered his approach
this year to allow teachers to question scientific principles
like evolution.  powered by Disqus 29° F Weather for South Bend,
