[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care. If they want pray, give a blessing, of any religion as long as participation isn't forced and kids can just stand by silently if they don't want to do it.   [/quote]

Forcing a kid to set themselves apart as different based on their religious beliefs is just wrong.[/quote]

LOL

clearly you have never seen this done.

The students aren't all saying a prayer at the same time,  they just stand there quietly, and there is someone who says a prayer or blessing or chant or whatever. They are all standing their silently.
so my point is kids who don't want to participate should just not disrupt them with loud talking and so on while it's going on. It's basic respect of a group. Don't speak when someone else is speaking.

I know that in APS parents would complain about a Christian prayer but would say a Jewish or Muslim prayer was ok.  Because that's how they show how woke they are and prove they don't like Trump  :D  
And I wish I was joking.

And like I said, I am fine with any religion prayer or blessing.

Supreme Court disagrees:

The respondents' argument to the contrary, which is largely based upon the contention that the Regents' prayer is 'nondenominational' and the fact that the program, as modified and approved by state courts, does not require all pupils to recite the prayer but permits those who wish to do so to remain silent or be excused from the room, ignores the essential nature of the program's constitutional defects. Neither the fact that the prayer may be denominationally neutral nor the fact that its observance on the part of the students is voluntary can serve to free it from the limitations of the Establishment Clause, as it might from the Free Exercise Clause…[/quote]
