I completely agree with everyone. You should not and cannot force (any particular) religion on anyone. But to keep others from praying as a group is wrong.
No everyone is not of Christian faith and I do agree that if you feel so strongly about prayer in school that you should go to a parochial (sp?) school. I did, but not for those reasons. But if prayer is such a problem why are we still pledging allegiance everyday before class.
"One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
Question: What if a team is caught conducting a pre-game prayer. What would happen? Would there be consequences?
I never began a game without an individual prayer or a team prayer. I prayed for togetherness, toughness, no injuries (for both teams). What negativity can come of this?
Again, I definately understand where everyone is coming from, but what makes religion so different from so many other things that students are forced to comply with or conform to. I just think people should be given the freedom to decide. Just my opinion.
