Should Prayer Be Allowed in Public Schools?

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?

    PRAYER ALWAYS

    I am a Christian and as a christian I would love to see prayer in the public schools.
    But!I am a American with freedoms.And as a American I would never set and let any one take my freedoms away.with that said.
    If a student whats to pray let him pray in silence.We can not take way your freedoms any more.
    As a christain I know there is a pride thing with some.
    But we can not push your religion on people.
    Let the love of JESUS show in YOU!!JESUS SAVE!!!RELIGION KILLS!!! AND USA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD!!
