Before some of you decide to leave in disgust, hear me out. Back in 1962, prayer in school was outlawed by the Supreme Court, thus taking away the right of freedom of religion from students guaranteed in the First Amendment. This doctrine originated from a letter by Thomas Jefferson to some group in which Jefferson wrote that the founding fathers didn't want any ONE religion to be the official religion of the country. Everyone was free to worship as he or she pleased. Of course not.
Many religions have prayer as a vital component.
Mentioning the Bible or praying in schools isn't forcing Christianity on anyone. The ACLU says prayer in schools is wrong. Simply put, you'll never take prayer out of schools, not with any amount of laws on the books. Just because prayer in schools is illegal, it doesn't mean it's right. There is something else I wonder about the world today.
