Prayer in school

[bobbyR]

I agree with the argument that mandatory prayer in public schools is unconstitutional. But what about voluntary prayer? Whether it's one student praying by himself before classes begin in the morning, or a group of 10 or 12 students getting together for an organized prayer session during lunch (and maybe even being joined by a teacher), should that kind of thing be allowed in public schools?

If someone wants to pray, they have every right to do so any time they wish. It hurts no one. So long as the public school isn't forcing it on anyone, I don't see a problem.

Hardly a schoolday went by when I didn't think "Dear God get me out of here."

I was still thinking that during my first marriage... but eventually I got tired of waiting, changed my religion, and got myself out.

Is anyone advocating against this?

People can pray if they want.

Can I cast a circle and invoke the ancient and powerful beings that inhabit the icy spaces between the worlds?

If so no problem.
