If prayer would have been in the home, then we would not have the problem of prayer in school. People that want prayer in school are just trying to apese their concience and make it someone elses responsibility to teach their children to pray.

I think prayer ought to be in the home and church just like you do. If a child wants to pray in school anyway there is nothing stopping them. It doesn't have to be out loud you know, Still even with that there seem to be a correlation between the removal of prayer in school and the rise of gangs and drugs. I don;t care what we do if we come come up with ANY way to protect our children I think it would be worth 2 minutes of a child school time to pray.... Jim

You make a good point,it seems symptomatic of the separation of state and church in our times.
I fully agree with you that parents should be the ones to pray with their children at home, and many have left this responsibilty to the schools, in too many homes prayer is or has died out, and too many are looking to someone else to do it for them.
there used to be an old saying that the family that prays together,stays together.

I agree. A lot more blame has been put on schools these days, but look at the failing schools... the worst kids are the ones without a positive, morally re-inforced home life. We have a moment of silence every morning at school where I teach, so kids can pray or whatever they want, and most of my students think it's a joke. I don't think the U.S. is morally worse than it has ever been either, people are just more open about their immorality.

Friend, My school days goes back to the 1950's & 1960's WE were allowed to pray & we were given bibles every year when school began, I was not a Christian then, not until 1970, but yet I could not wait to get my new Bible. Back in my school days, we did not have crime in school nor shooting in school, when they began to take Prayer out of the schools, then that leaves a Void there, something has to fill that void, so satan just moved in when politicians took prayer out, now there is so much evil in schools, That My Nephew taught his kids at home, & I have 2 grandsons that saw so much evil that they dropped out of school & got their GED, So I am one that saw both sides of this story.

Because this country continues to turn from God in increasing numbers. They don't want prayer in schools or teaching religion but our tax dollars continue to support teaching the religion of evolution. They want religion out of the public schools,fine, then this should ALSO pertain to the false lies of evolution, which in itself is based on faith. It has/is/will ALWAYS be a theory that cannot be proven.

morality is taught in the home, by the parents being good role models. its a blame game by people who wont take responsibility for their failure at home, to try and stick it the blame else where.

Yes you are right that prayer should start at home. But God has been taken out of our schools so naturally Satan has filled that vacant seat. Satan hates the name of Jesus and is trying to destroy that name and everything associated with it.

because they have to find something to blame, it couldn't possibly be that their own hypocritical lives manifest itself into less than moral behavior in their kids- it has to be somebody elses fault
