They are being done on a contingency basis. Dearborn school officials said they disagree with the survey findings. In my opinion, our district bends over backwards to accommodate religious beliefs and practices of everyone in our district. We are guilty as far as not providing time off during the school day for prayer. We would be fostering a particular form of religion over another.
Students are free within their hearts to pray in school.
But to provide a time and a place to pray during the school day is not the function of a public school. Muslim students who attend Dearborn schools have mixed reactions about the survey. But I don't think that will happen because we have non-Muslim students and Fordson's a public school. Amane Karaali, a sophomore at Fordson, concurred.
