Sorry, galvestonangel, but prayer is NOT allowed in school just so we won't disrespect others AND to adhere to the basic teachings of the founding of our government: SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
How would you feel if we had a "christian" prayer every day at school/work/wherever, and you are Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or atheist? That 'little act of prayer' tells you that you are different. Where's the tolerance there?
