- Could try talking about the numerous studies that show that prayer doesn't work...... Blackjuice
Prayer isn't forbidden in public schools. Teachers leading prayer is. It singles out and segregates students of minority religions.--IanG 14:36, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
- Private silent prayer isn't forbidden. But one has only to follow the controversies with valedictorians not being allowed to mention God in their speeches to know that it is more than teacher led prayer that is being suppressed. Learn together 14:54, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
- That is false. My JROTC had a student Chaplain who lead prayers when we were decommissioning flags, the Campus Crusade for Christ prayed every morning before school on school property in a large group, and my drama group prayed before every show. There was one incident of a student who was told not to evangelize during her acceptance speech, and I agree that was inappropriate. However, one incident does not define the reality of it. There was a controversy, not several.--IanG 14:59, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
