Yes, it is unconstitutional for there to be school led prayer.

However, as long as there are exams there will be prayer in schools.

Forced prayer is unconstitutional. Some kid praying on their own is fine.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

I remember people arguing over this when I started school back in the late 60's.
I know it was a hot issue.....separation of school and church. Thats when large churches started creating their own schools I think. A "loophole" as it were.

The one's wanting prayer in school are always the Abrahamic Religions. If a school announced that at the start of the school day, it would have a prayer to one of the Hindu Gods, the Abrahamic Religious folks would become apoplectic.

When I went to school we prayed twice a day. We said the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag in the morning but prayers were twice a day. Public school.

I asked my Jewish mother if I had to say Christian prayers. Her answer was "Pray. It can't hurt."

I'm sorry the practice ended.

 

[skye]

I always prayed... in primary and beyond.

We always prayed at school in the mornings.

What is the point of forcing someone to pray to a deity they do not believes exist?

Would you have been fine with the practice if they had been praying to Odin or Ares?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Now that I'm grown, I see the wisdom in saying the Lord's prayer in school and my Jewish mother's satisfaction with Christian prayer. If you want a prayer that says Odin who art in heaven or even Valhalla, go for it. Taking prayer out of schools left us with school sponsored Satan clubs.

There was no lasting damage from saying prayers in school. It might have been better to recite the Ten Commandments too.

We prayed every morning and when we came back from lunch.

Don't want to pray at school? Don't pray at school.

 

[Mashmont]

Frankly we need prayer in every school and in every building. Everywhere.

I have no problem with anyone praying in school. I am quite sure there are prayers as long as there are exams.

I simply do not want school led prayer. It excludes too many.
