Talk:School prayer

message: The article view only represents a US view on public prayer. What about the rest of the world? I don't know the command to put a label on the top page saying that the article does not represent a world view. This article could use one I think. Arm 00:56, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok I found the right tag. An issue as big and widespread as shoving religion down everyones throat (public prayer) has got to be an issue that exists outside the United States. --Arm 06:51, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It certainly is.  I will return later (possibly much later) to add information about the UK position.  I would also be interested to hear views from other countries (eg France, which is highly secularised) on their experiences. --Ross UK 19:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

message: One thing about this article: no one ever said that kids can't pray in school at all. I changed the article to reflect the fact that it was MANDATORY prayer eliminated from public school, not prayer altogether.
What the article conspicuously lacks is a history of school prayer.  It has a history of decisions affecting it, but it does not discuss whose bright idea it was in the first place!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.217.142.210 (talk) 18:51, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  School Prayer 

message: It's strange to mention Canada in the introduction but not have a section for that country.  The actual right protected is "freedom of conscience and religion", the reason being that school prayers would be prejudicial against students of different religions.  The ban does not apply to all "state" schools, as prayers are still allowed in separate schools.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Four Deuces (talk • contribs) 05:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article did have a large sourced section on Canada (British Columbia) which was deleted by an IP vandal (86.17.109.91) on 18:35, 25 November 2008 which wasn't corrected until now. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 02:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm adding Congress's CRS reports to their relevant talk pages, since they're so thorough and you can just copy-and-cite the content ... here's yours:

PS with this information, you should be able to create a stand-alone article School prayer (United States), which would be long overdue ...Agradman talk/contribs 00:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
