Your post looks really very unfortunate - it appears as "what should I do if my 14 yr old daughter was asked by her teacher to give him oral" which is not at all what you mean.
As a parent, it's your right and responsibility to ensure that your child's education conforms to your own code of propriety. Yet as a citizen of a world in which many people do believe in the importance of prayer, it's helpful if she participates on that. If the presentation is simply factual and an objective view of prayer and its importance in the lives of others, you can't really object since she's only talking about something that's a part of our society. However, if she's asked to pray or to lead others in prayer, and this contravenes your own belief in the propriety of prayer at school, then have a quiet word with the teacher. Send a letter explaining your views and asking that they be respected in your daughter's education.
Good luck...

Good one.
Our former president supports oral presentations in the classroom or outside of it.
The relationship of public schools and religion is an ongoing and unresolved problem for this nation. Recently (1984) the Senate defeated a proposed constitutional amendment to allow organized prayer in classrooms; however, it is virtually certain that this issue will be raised again in the next Congress.

I'm not sure what exactly your question is, but if he asked her to "give him oral" I guess that would warrant calling the police if it means what I think it means. As far as prayer, it should be mandatory in schools. Then maybe people wouldn't post so much nonsense on here.

Do you not feel comfortable or does she not? If she wants to, let her. There is nothing wrong with bringing prayer into school. By the way, your question makes it sound REALLY bad.

Ask your daughter if she is comfortable with the situation.
This is not about you.
If the class has been discussing an issue and an assignment has been given it must have passed the school board as an accepted assignment.
Help your daughter with her homework.

i think you should express to the teacher your beliefs and what you think would be right for your child, any how prayers has been removed from schools. Or you can let your daughter make the decision for herself.

Way to lure people here. Anyways, since he's not actualy asking them TO pray, there's nothing you can do. He's not making her participate in religion, only to speak on an aspect of it. Anyways, even if you aren't comfortable with that, you should let your daughter make decisions about the things she wants to learn about. Does she even care?

WELL you could have her give a speech about why prayer is not accepted in public schools, why prayer should stay in families, or for church, etc.

LOL have you read the title to your question? Its dirty! I hope you did it on purpose....
Funny regardless.
Your daughter does not have to give a prayer. Its your right to freedom of religion, including agnostic, or having no religion. He can make her study what religion is and such, but NOT recite a prayer.
