and the majority of the students are Islamic would you be upset with them praying to Allāh at graduation?

Please excuse me anyone who is Muslim but I had to pick a religion to prove a point.

Yes, I would! and my children do go to public school were the native americans are a majority. They like to teach seneca 'culture' which I deem as religion. I do not allow my children to partake in ANY of these events. I refuse to allow my children to worship the native american rites and rituals. I have a right to teach them religion and I think school should not be the place for religion. "Thou shalt not have any Gods before me." I honor that. Say NO to school religion!

I personally don't care who the kids would pray to. If my child chose to pray with them, that's fine with me. Personally, I'm raising my child to be open-minded to all religions and choices there are out there.
I know that when I was growing up, I became an Atheist shortly before graduation. I also had several people in my class that were Muslim and Jewish. We still had to say a Christian prayer. We just didn't participate. When everyone bowed their head, we simply sat there quietly.
What I'm trying to say is that people of other religions are already put in that situation in public schools with christian prayers. If someone is going to pitch a fit about Islamic prayers, then maybe we should finally recognize the complete separation of church and state and ban ALL prayers from ALL school events.
Otherwise, teach your kids that if they don't believe in it, they should still be respectful. You don't have to participate in it, but you don't have to prevent others from doing so.

Well there is an easy solution to this... you move to Offrica, which is a province of Germany off of Haiti, and than see Villiam Von Vhindershauzen and ask for piano lessons which is code for " I need to go to a school where they don't pray" and than they send you to the humanoid planet of Tirconium where they don't believe in school because on Tirconium they start at an early age with the harvesting of genetically enhanced McNuggs which are used to feed the overlord. He has an insatiable appetite for the mcnuggs. And that's all you need to know.

They aren't allowed to pray in public schools.
But that shouldn't be an issue anyway because the islamics claim that Allah is the same god of the jews and christians.

Yeah. Legally the school can't do that, but a student speaker could pray, like the validictorian. AND THAT IS PROTECTED BY FREE SPEECH!

Prayer is banned in public school for that exact reason

No, other people can do whatever they want. My Christianity is separate from other people that's why they are different from me and my group are different from them. We are all over the world living in different governments, the governments can do whatever they want, they are no part of our group.

I would not think its appropriate just like I dont think mentioning Jesus or G-d is appropriate either.

Not if they don't force my child to do it too. And not if it isn't an imposition by the school.
