What would your reaction have been if he was Muslim and delivered a prayer in Arabic?

That would be fine by me, actually. If he cannot pray as his conscience dictates he is not a free man but is a slave and a vassal.

I take it you are expecting FReepers to have a different response? Why?

Ditto your response. While I would have personally hated that, I would defend his free speech rights, as I think supressing a student’s right to free speech is far more dangerous than hearing something we dont like.

Another reason I support all private/fee paid schools and think public government run schools should be outlawed.(We should have the right to assemble freely with those that share our values.We should not be taxed to support school systems that promote values that we dont agree with, such as atheists or Muslims. Let them form their own private schools and not tax us to pay for them.) - but that’s a conversation for a different day.
