I do believe that prayer of all religions should be allowed in school. I think that if a student wants to pray, no matter what their religion may be that they should be allowed to do so. I believe that as Americans we have the right and freedom to worship whatever religion we choose, as long as it stays within the laws of our country. I understand the reasoning behind not making it required in public schools because not everyone is the same religion. I know that if they made it a requirement that they would have to choose one religion and that would be discriminatory to other people’s religion. That would cause many problems and fighting. So I do not believe that public schools should make it mandatory. I know that there are private schools that make religious practices part of the curriculum, and that is fine for a private school. However I believe that if a student chooses to pray when they have a moment that they should be allowed to do so and that it should not be part of the curriculum for public schools. I know of several people in my old high school that prayed before they ate lunch or when they felt like they needed to.
