Explanation:
Allowing prayer in public schools remains a compelling and often heated issue for many Americans. Is a student-led Lord's Prayer acceptable before the big game on Friday night? What about a two-minute "moment of silence" during home room? Of course, this isn't simply a matter of prayer itself but a representation of a much larger, more encompassing topic: Where does the line exist between religious freedom and religious imposition?

Student-Initiated Prayer is a Protected Form of Free Speech.
Group Prayer
Just as the article stated the First Amendment protects free speech. Not only privately but also in a group of students such as the event "See you at the Pole". The constitution also says we have religous freedom, but if they take away the right to pray in school wouldn't that be contradicting what they're telling us we can do?
