::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.

So aside from some cases going too far, how was anything I put in there incorrect? 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.

::: Learn together is right - you have to look at the big picture. Just because there are a handful of instances where you've witnessed prayer, doesn't mean the government and schools in general don't try to stifle it. Anyone that believes prayer should be limited to "silent prayer" so that nobody knows about it, is, I think, suffering from some sort of prayer phobia. --[[User:DRamon|DRamon]] 15:14, 18 September 2008 (EDT) | ::: Learn together is right - you have to look at the big picture.

- 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)
