Yes. Regardless of what your religious affiliation is, you have the constitutional right to worship as you see fit, so long as you do not harm another person with your acts of devotion.

This is a thought experiment. It may be bs or it may be revealing. I hope to find out. Please answer truthfully. And try to not be offended by other people's answers. And keep in mind it is not asking if we should have school prayer, only if the children should be allowed to do it on their own, while in school. If you wondering how this is an experiment, just wait. :mrgreen:

So long as it doesn't disturb the peace or disrupt public affairs, sure thing.
Well said. Sooner or later people are going to fully understand what you wrote. Don't know when but sooner or later.They already can pray in school. It isn't possible to stop anyone who wants to pray silently to themselves to pray anywhere that they want. That's just reality. What isn't allowed to happen is for teachers and administrators, in their role as teachers and administrators, to lead prayers in schools. But the religious don't want private, silent prayers, they want public displays of piety. They want people in authority to use that authority to push their religion. That's something that is not, cannot be and will never be allowed.
You think that a prayer in school could disturb the public peace?
While I would add that this freedom is only guaranteed in public schools.

In private schools the rules are un the contract and not the Constitution.

No, the people who don't actually care about prayer but want proselytizing will never figure it out. They don't care about freedom, they care about pushing their religion on everyone.

I think we have all seen adequate cases to show that such people don't want to figure it out.

This is pretty much it. He is going to try and spring the trap of Muslims praying, but I think we all see that coming, and I doubt it changes any one's answer. You are constitutionally allowed to pray in school, as long as it does not disrupt school activities.
Children in every single school in the US are allowed to pray. What they're not allowed to do is grandstand and distract from learning by praying out loud or making a show of it. Can you give any examples of US schools preventing children from praying silently to whatever deity they please?
I very much believe in freedom of religion and would fight tooth and nail defending it but it like all rights does have limits and those limits are set where it becomes infringing on the rights of others just like all rights.
