Prayer In Schools

I do not see a problem with prayer in school.
Students should be allowed to practice their religious freedoms. Schools should not force prayer on students, but the students should have the right to pray on their own free will without being afraid of getting punished or harassed. Here is how I see it, if you want to pray then pray, if you don't then don't pray. It's as easy as that. From the research I have done I found that prayer is allowed in school as long as you are not interrupting the instructional time. Here is a few things I found. You are allowed to pray and read your bible during meals, recess and like we said, non instructional times. You are allowed to organize events and religious activities like any other non curricular activity. School employees cannot encourage or discourage prayer. This country was founded on religious beliefs. That is one of the reasons our ancestors came to America, for religious freedom. The first amendment says, "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." So there can be no law promoting or prohibiting religion. The whole argument about the separation of church and state comes in to play. The school is not the state, it is an education system not the government. Yes it is funded by the government, which I disagree with, but that is a whole other topic. People are confused about what is the state and what isn't because the government is taking over programs that affect our daily lives. So in conclusion, if you want to pray or exercise your religious beliefs, more power to you, you are protected by the constitution. And for those who don't want to pray, nobody is forcing you to, so don't. And stop harassing those who do.
