A student has the right to pray to themselves at public school. They also may have group get together. Like the national pray at the flag pole that are held every year at many public schools. There are many other rights they have also.
What is illegal is that the school itself can no longer have the whole class say a prayer. Not that this was ever forced but our government thought it needed a law against it. 
What drives me crazy is that the public school has now got so politically correct and anti-Christian that it is no longer Easter vacation but Spring break and it usually never falls on Easter anymore. At Christmas they have taken Christ out completely. No songs that we grew up singing are allowed during the pageants. And we now call it Winter Break.
Now I could go for all of this. But, they still make a big deal over Halloween. A holiday that is celebrated by wiccans. Which our government said was an actual religion. So, in my opinion it shouldn't be allowed to be celebrated at public schools.
Last year my daughter had a Muslim come and explain the meaning of Ramada. No preacher came to explain the meaning of Easter or Christmas. |
