School Prayer Amendment - Barely Agreed Upon

After we voted in class today on the proposed amendment my classmates and I came up with, I was surprised that the School Prayer Amendment barely received a majority vote. In Congress you need super majority so technically my proposed amendment wouldn't have passed. I figured that with two arguments supporting the amendment, the class would be twice as inclined to vote to ratify it. What I want to know is why five people in the class were against it. I know people don't reply to these blogs very often, but if you do happen to read this let me know. Where we just not very convincing? or what about are argument just didn't settle with you? The School Prayer Amendment is intended to only preserve the rights given to us by the founders. The Constitution is just so vague at times that it is hard to determine how they wanted us to interpret certain laws (such as the First Amendment). Clarification is better than confusion.
