Violation of the separation of church and state? (Illinois)

"A school in Illinois instituted a daily prayer, every morning, which thanked God for the day and asked for support, but which didn't mention a specific god or religion."

In my opinion It violates the separation of church and state since it's a public school and I assume it's part of the government. The school shouldn't force the students to pray or to have any religion. It's a personal decision. Even if the prayers didn't mention any specific religion, it's still related to religion. People should have the chance to choose any religion they want, even if they choose not to have a religion. The school is not giving this choice for the students.
