She gets some of it right. The stuff about the school prayers trivializes what is a far deeper issue for Christians, and for her to say that no one has or is looking for the right answer ignores that devoutly religious kids already have an answer. Devoutly Christian and Jewish kids are generally pretty healthy and happy compared to other groups. For instance, a study showed that out of all groups in America Mormons are the happiest. They lead disciplined lives and have a strong sense of purpose. That is the answer.
