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?

    Teachers have the same Rights as Students

    There should not be an issue having teachers partake in religious activities unless it disrupts the teaching of the class. In public schools teachers teach their students without and bias. They share the same rights as students.
