Prayer in Public Schools laws - Information on the law about Prayer in Public Schools

dear, mr President of the united states. my name is Trevor McSpaden and i think prayer in public schools shouldnt be illegal. thanks and God bless.

§ 25.901. EXERCISE OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRAY. A

public school student has an absolute right to individually,

voluntarily, and silently pray or meditate in school in a manner

that does not disrupt the instructional or other activities of the

school. A person may not require, encourage, or coerce a student to

engage in or refrain from such prayer or meditation during any

school activity.



In the school I went to they did not let us have our hands folded in prayer,I myself consider this ridiculous.

I would also like to address the fear and ignorance of Ms. Kandis. The first thing that should be noted is that you are not asked to participate. As a matter of fact, in a classroom prayer, you would be permitted to leave the room, where you can praise satin or whoever it is you follow. Secondly, it is very ignorant to speak on things you do not understand. This is obviously the reason you want no part in prayer to God. Ignorance envokes fear. If you knew anything about God, you would suffer from neither fear nor ignorance! Also, since you want to justify prayer bans, why is it O.K. to study Hitler, and Buddah, and the Koran, but not the Bible. I suspect I will see you on a blog fighting to ban these school sctivities as well. Us Christians know all about you people. Our God has prpared us for battle with you and your demons...unlike you, WE are not afraid. The Government, the Constitution, the schools, and you have no way of stopping us from praising our God. We can do it without you even knowing because our God knows us on the inside. I hope to meet you one day so I can stand next to you and silently pray them bad spirits off of you. God Bless you Honey!!!

To Kandis, if u gotta problem with the way Christians handle ourselves, walk out of the room. I'm gonna pray however i wanna pray. Thats y this country is goin down the drain. We were built on CHRISTIAN morals and values. Thats the ONLY reason we won our independece. God helped us get away from religious persecution. Stopping prayer in public school is a way of persecution. So, eventually, God will have his vengence on this country. And back to Ms Kandis, if u have a problem with this CHRISTIAN nation, LEAVE!!!! Thanks, and GOD BLESS!!!

To Kandis, I am sorry I fail to understand what in this article prompted your rant on Christianity. I see nothing in here that said this mooment of silence is going to be a Christian Prayer? I think you need to take some of your own advice. You are allowed to think anything you want about Christians, but don't "push it" on all of us, to use your words. Keep your "dirty" predjudices to yourself.

Just so you know the only reason I'm on this website is to prove against prayer in school. Nobody has EVER said that you can't pray in school. And neither have they said that it has to loud and obnoxious! You dirty Christians need to think of other people other than yourselves...not everyone is Christian, not everyone believes in something that makes sense to only you. NOT EVERYONE wants to be subjected to the uniforms of today.

You can pray in school. Do it quietly. Do it for breakfast. Do it for lunch. Do it for dinner. Do it for each assignment. Every class. Every hour. Every minute. Every second. Every grade. Every person you pass. Every step you take. Hell, even do it for every breath you take or every time you blink.

But keep it to yoursleves! I am not Christian! But that doesn't mean I don't believe in a higher power. I want my religion to be respected just as much as every Christian wants every one to know "the blessing of blah blah" whatever you people say. But that doesn't mean you push it on other people. That doesn't mean that we find your religion illogical and instead we found a religion that makes us feel safe, that we understand and love.

I don't care that you want to pray, but I want to have no part in it

schools such as northpitt high school restrict the practice of religion peirod is this constitional or not i know in the first ammendment it say we have te right to prACTICE BUT DO THAT EXTEND TO THE SCHOOL SETTINGS TO

I need to know if teachers in public school can have prayer groups, meetings, while on contracted time?

This article neglects to mention the landmark case: Weiss et. al. v. The District Board of School District No. Eight of the City of Edgerton, 76 Wis. 177; 44 N.W. 967 (1890). While technically it addresses the practice of teaching a protestant Bible to Catholic students, the dispute is essentially the same. Also, the article says, "After the Supreme Court struck down the practice—without reference to any specific legal precedent or established legal theory..." While it is true that no *specific* precedent is invoked, facts and findings from related cases were certainly reviewed.



Regards

Amen

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.

so many entertaining stuff in your blog You have done your best by making us know about this. It was a brief and wide presentation which can easily be understood by anyone.

The U.S was based on Christian standards. We should be able to pray out in public and school. If you dont like it i think you should go to another country. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, not anyone else or anything else. God bless America and Everyone in it.
