Shouldn't meditation, spell casting, satanic rituals, and other practices of other religions be allowed as well. It would only be fair.

Absolutely. That's why I'm against it. You can't just allow one and disregard all the others.

anything that is neutral is OK with me but spell casting and satanic rituals are more of a personal belief. Meditation is a good idea because there are health benefits and meditation isn't only known in religion it's known for other things as well making it neutral. Also this is a more Christian Society then other and if kids learn about any other religion or beliefs
it is taught in School and there is usualy at lease one lesson in that area you speak of. Many people find casting spells and satanic rituals associated with the devil and dark idea's and is considered because of that a more personal belief which is why they are not praticed in school and why prayer is more accepted because most of the population accepts prayer because it's more a Christian Society.

Which is why we really dont have it. However, if it does not interfere with normal class time any student can pray any way they wish. We call that freedom of religion. Fortunately it also means freedom from religion for those who would like to force everyone to attend a bible study in class each day. There is a difference between someone next to you saying grace over their lunch and someone trying to hold a tent revival. Someones spiritual/religious beliefs should be a private personal thing, not broadcast over the intercom. When we start giving people platforms from which to preach we have to oblige the rest of the religions and that takes up too much time and as I said its way too in your face for everyone else. Respect these rights and we all benefit, gripe and complain at the baptismal service not being allowed during chemistry class and we will start losing what rights we have.

Yes, so long as they do not endanger anyone or disrupt the primary purpose of school: getting an education. Complex and time-consuming rituals would be disruptive. I personally think the moment of silence is perfect. It allows students to pray or meditate as they will without telling them how they must use that time.
99999: Freedom of religion is a cherished American tradition. If you are too selfish to respect that each person has the right to choose which religion or moral philosophy to follow, perhaps you (not we) should relocate yourself to a country with similar views. Like Saudi Arabia.

Sorry I am a Christian and I most certainly do not want prayer in my childrens public school. The teachers cannot even teach kids to write now a days, do you really think I want them teaching my kids religion? I say no to any type of religion in school. Schools are not church.

Yep, it would only be fair. I think that each belief should be able to be practiced in a manner in which no others feel obligated to participate. Prayers over an intercom would be inappropriate, however rooms designated for worshippers should definitely be implimented.

Yes, I guess, but IS prayer in public schools? I don't think so. However, after the pledge of allegiances, schools are required to have a moment of silence. During this time, you can SILENTLY: Pray, meditate, whatever tf you wanna do, except talk or make other disruptions.

yes that would be correct. That is why prayer was took out of public schools, to make everyone of every religion happy.

Prayer isn't going to hurt anybody, but spells and Satanic rituals could cause harm to others. It has done before.
Here in Australia they have Christian chaplains in schools and prayer is allowed. Religion is not banned, or if they do try to ban it, nobody listens to it anyway.
I mean, really, even though prayer is banned in public schools in America - you can't stop people from praying...
I do get your point, but allowing Satanic rituals would just be plain dangerous!!!

When I was in school we had "Silent" prayer. First we Pledged our flag, then a moment of silent prayer. This gave every one the opportunity to pray in their own way.

Yes. It would be fair, that's why there is no prayer in a public school.
