School officials may not prevent students from gathering for such activities before or after school, at lunch, or during other times when students are permitted to interact with other students. Students may pray together in informal settings and may discuss their religious views with each other, subject only to the same rules of order which apply to all other student conduct and speech. Students may attempt to persuade their peers about religious and political topics, including religion and abortion, so long as such speech does not constitute harassment aimed at a particular student or group of students. Any restrictions imposed upon student interaction must be reasonable restrictions relating to the time, place, and manner of all student behavior, not just religious behavior. During any time in which a student is free to discuss noninstructional topics, he is free to discuss religious topics, and such freedom of speech includes the freedom to witness or to pray.
Freedom of speech includes the freedom to pray.
Students may bow their heads to pray before tests. Any time that students are allowed to read non-instuctional books, Bible reading must be permitted. This would include the hours before and after school or during lunch. It would also include study halls or any free reading hours during class time when teachers permit students to read books of their choice. Public secondary schools must allow Bible clubs the same privileges as any other school club.
