do u think they should put prayer back in school?

Answer 1

Yes! I would like to know who took it out in the first place. Probably something to do with left wing politics or PC

Answer 2

Yes, I do. Maybe it would remind us that there is someone to turn to. There are so many Demi-gods, and false accusations made about prayer/school. After all there aren't any Supreme Beings on earth as we know it. Philosophically speaking it helps one to collect his or her thoughts for the day. There is a choice to pray or not to pray. Whether it be silent or out loud. Isn't it more prejudice not to pray? I think so. To me that was one of the dumbest moves ever made. It never hurt me, or anyone I know dead or alive. They passed this law without putting it to vote at public polls. It was a court ruled decision of which The 1st Amendment(For Prayer) vs. 14th Amendment (opposed) The separation of Church and State. The "Lemon Test" is mainly what dominated the whole thing. There are denominations other than Christian Groups trying to abolish this law of Not Praying in schools, or even school functions Graduations, Football Games, etc.
This is absurd, prayer in school is a good thing. How can anyone believe it would twist the governments decisions more than it does now.
Hopefully it will return in ALL states & All countries.

Answer 3

Pray is in schools and will be as long as there are test. We just don't have public prayer in schools. I do think we need public prayer in school and the Ten Commandments on the walls. Children need to know and have morals and without God (an I'm talking about the God of the Bible not the Muslin God or anyother God.) I know people will not agree with me but that is not my problem, I just pray for them to the true God.

Answer 4

Whose prayer?

If a Jew, Muslim, Buddhist or Wiccan is part of the class, would you include prayers led by the teacher according to the teachings of that religion? Is there a particular denomination you have in mind? Would you develop a special prayer to attempt to be inclusive of all beliefs? How would you handle it so that children of different religions (or no religion) are not pressured by the prayers. The government definitely has no business pushing any one belief on our children.

Answer 5

No, you have a variety of other religions that do not worship the same way as a "Christian Prayer." To be honest, putting prayer back in school is like saying "We don't respect you kind."

Answer 6

Definately not. North America is a diverse place, and thier are too many religions to incorporate in the school's prayers. Some parents may not appreciate that thier children are going to school and praying differently from home.

Answer 7

I see no need to. If it is accepted as a group then that would be one thing. I see kids fighting over it. The Christians and the Muslims breaking out into fights in the lunch room. Kids are too eager to fight over too much other crap, lets just leave this where it is. Now prayer in a private school, hell yeah!

Answer 8

Prayer belongs in the church and home not in the school.

The separation of church and state bars the government from any laws establishing a religion. All school funding requires the passage of law. Therefore all funding used for religious used for school is required to be religion neutral. The only way to have a religious neutrality in school is not to have religion in it at all.

The constitution is there to provide for us all, not just the Christians.

Answer 9

prayer has no place in schools. im willing to bet that if people in a muslim-dominated area put a mandatory prayer session into schools during the day, the christian parents in the school would, every one of them, get their panties in a huge bunch. its exactly the same with christian-dominated areas except they have a tendency to squash all oppostition to their ideas. prayer should be kept out of schools because there is enough diversity in them to warrant prayer sessions for EVERY religion and we just dont have time for it.

Answer 10

Yes , but make it a silent prayer and put under God , back in the Pledge of Allegiance . We had it for 200 years and if they can't say that , then leave our country .

Answer 11

No, because one of the guiding principles of this country was the separation of church and state. Look at all the great empires of the past that collapsed because there was no such separation and there was constant squabbling among the factions involved. If students in a school want to pray - let them do it on their own time - they're in school to learn, not to pray!
