Lots of unconstitutional laws remain on the books in states across the country, Ted. They don't automatically get erased from the judicial code just because they are declared unconstitutional. Lots and lots of anti-abortion and anti-sodomy laws still exist, they just aren't enforceable.
I don't think a teacher is constitutionally permitted to lead prayer in class, though I believe there are places where students are permitted to do so, as long as no one is compelled to participate.
I didn't mean to imply anything about whether or not the law was "still on the books" even if struck down by courts. I don't know how that website deals with such situations.
My primary purpose was to present to the forum the text of a law that the same kinds of guys passed not that long ago and to say that those guys would still be gung-ho to allow public school employees lead a thinly veiled Christian prayer with students if they could. These guys aren't acting out of concern for keeping religion out of schools, they are acting out of wanting to keep non-Christianish religion out of schools.
