How can you expect teachers to teach their students Christian prayer? What if they're Muslim or Jewish?

Answer 1

The Catholic Church agrees with the U.S. Constitution as currently interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court and does not support "structured" prayer in public schools.

In the Vatican II document, Declaration on Religious Freedom, Dignitatis Humanae (Human Dignity), the Church states:

The human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs, whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits.

Children will continue to privately pray before tests just like they always have.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

A teacher is only allowed to teach prayers in a private school, which is usually designated by the religion that it is teaching. In that case the teacher would also be of the same religion so there would be no problem of other religions' teachers teaching different prayers.

Answer 3

No teacher should be teaching Christian prayer unless they are teaching in a private school. Religious lessons belong at home or in the church.

Answer 4

Teachers have no right to teach prayer of any faith-----in a public school. If caught, this teacher should be fired.

Answer 5

You can't teach students prayer in schools as the USA forbids it. They want a seperation of church and state.

Answer 6

Then their not qualified to teach that class.

Answer 7

Muslims dont care about your religious freedom....why should you care about theirs?
