==The principle of tolerance==
I think schoolchildren should be taught to maintain a respectful silence during public prayer. If their teacher prays at the beginning of class, the student might even bow his head. Or say Amen at the end.
A visiting pastor, rabbi or imam (that's a Muslim religious leader) could be invited to pray.
Only those students whose parents have provided a letter to the school, saying that they '''refuse''' to have their children exposed to public prayer, should be permitted to opt out. I doubt if the majority of classrooms would each have such a student. But accommodation could be made. "Okay, I'm going to say a prayer now. Billy and Mary, you may stand in the hallway for a minute."
But why stop there? If parents object to the way human reproduction is taught, with graphic depictions of sexual actions presented (for example), shouldn't they also be able to opt out?
Or are we to enforce "[[tolerance]]" of things liberals like while enforcing [[censorship]] of things liberals hate? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:39, 18 November 2008 (EST)
