I thought that was what Sunday School was for?

If you must pray, Sunday School would be the place. But no one needs to pray, and I'm not sure that encouraging people to have imaginary friends is a good thing.

I remember when the Ten Commandments were taken off the wall at school in the 60's, no prayer allowed, etc.

I can't recall the name of that evil woman that started the mess....her efforts were backed by Satan....the schools have fallen down hill every year!!! The children and the education worse each year.....rules?? there are none today...

Prayer was taken out of the schools so that a few years later we could put in armed security guards, metal detectors, drug sniffing dogs, rape counselors, gang prevention.....

How was a little school room of third graders saying a morning prayer for country, mom and dad, the school, and self a threat to anyone but Satan.....

1 or 2 hrs of Sunday school or Sabbath school is not enough to help a child be strong against the evil in the world today.....

Society has abandoned its responsibility to the protection and education of the children since the 60's!! Look at the crime rate since that time.......

Why do we need prayer in school??survival...

Prayer is not in schools anymore, remember? It is voluntary.
Some people love God, Mohammed, or whoever. Some people want to pray.
Good Christians are Christians and pray and live for Jesus all week, not just one day a week.
People who only pray on Sundays are called hypocrites.
Have you learned that word yet? It's in the dictionary. That is a book where words are put in alphabetical order. You look up the word, and the meaning is printed there for you.

Cool, huh?

Now, get someone to help you look that H word up.

I don't think that organized, formal prayer sessions should be done in public schools -- but a student should be allowed to pray privately if he/she wishes, so long as it doesn't disrupt class or anything.

But when a student is told that it's against the rules to pray silently and privately in the cafeteria before eating lunch, that's a denial of religious freedom. Only someone who has seriously twisted the whole church-state separation concept would support such a denial of religious rights.

Well, according to the Supreme Court Case, Engel v. Vitale, prayer in school was held unconstitutional because they wanted to separate church from school. However, I think it depends on what type of school you go to. I mean if its specifically a Catholic School, then prayer might be required (though, i'm not too sure on this; i've never attended cath. school). But yeah, most public schools, we don't need prayer, and if they force you to, then that's violation of your First Amendment.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, we can not put him back in. I wish we could put him back in, but I don't think it is possible.

We now have so many religions in the U.S.A., if you allowed one kid to pray to God in Jesus name, you would have to allow another to pray to Allah in the name of Muhammad, and another to Buddha, etc. I think you get my point.

We do need to pray over the schools, to pray for God's protection over the kids in the school, not only physically, but that there faith be destroyed by a secular school system.

I put my granddaughters through private school because of the changes in the school system over he last 20 years.

Sunday School is not for praying, it is for learning. One of the things they may need to learn is how to pray, but it is a learning environment.

There is no place to pray, you can do it in the church, in the school (without anyone knowing it), in the home, in the car (but with your eyes open). You can pray anywhere, there is no reason to prescribe a specific place to pray.

People can still choose to pray in school, just silently, and without trying to convert people.

Parent's need to understand it is their responsibility to teach their children about their faith, not the government's.

If they taught their children properly, their children will still be conducting their prayers while in school, and living their lives according to their beliefs.

The point is that people who want to pray in school should be allowed to and those that don't want to shouldn't have to. Prayer shouldn't be forced on anyone, nor should it be banned.

Do you think that God wouldn't listen to millions of innocent children asking Him to save their country? Asking Him to bestow wheat fields of plenty and corn of plenty on their country. Jesus said that we must become as little children. A child believes without any hesitation and this faith can move mountains.

The devil knew if he got prayer out of our schools that he could bring this country down. In the 1960's prayer came out.
You can think about the rest of the story.

People of God pray every day. They do not need to be led in prayer at school...but they should be allowed to pray in school.
