can anyone help me with informations on school prayer?

Question

i need to know background of school prayer like when it was started and ended. and also need to know basic informations and major events that happened involving school prayer and also need to know people's argument of school prayer over years.

Answer 1

People try to look for simple ways of solving complicated problems but sometimes just create more problems.

Some people think that school prayer will make children better or nicer or more Godly.

Most people think school prayer will infringe on the freedom of religion. What kind of prayer is prayed when you have Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Agnostics, and Atheists in the same group?

It is unreasonable to compromise everyone's values to come up with some bland prayer that will be acceptable to everyone.

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

Prayer has been in scools 100's of years. I believe in God and my
religion. Now, it shouldn't be forced on anybody. That said, it shouldn't be removed to satisfy the minority. Catholic schools always had Catechism. The Government took them over. Anybody could attend. Thats fine. Protestant children and anybody who didn't want Catechism didn't have to attend. Also fine. Then prayer and Catechism were prohibited so as not to offend the minority. That is undemocratic and does not rest well wwith me. The supreme court justices are god. There is not a power higher than them. Thats the way the Communist think. Dictatorship.

Answer 3

If he's in a personal college or a daycare then you'll speak to the college's management to look if it is a aspect in their major software. If it's all you'll do is uncover one more college or daycare. However, if it is a public college then prayer is NOT allowed to be instigated through the instructor.

Since making an expert option used to be all I desired for them, I have got to say I'm joyful with the results in their educations.

I don't know how or why it began but I think it ended for religious reasons. We now have something called moment of silence and its hard to do but it's only for 40 seconds at my school.
