If Muslims are allowed to pray in public school, why can't Christians and Jews do the same? You might want to ask the ACLU secular jihadists about the double standard.

This is the school's answer to your question:

Carver's supporters noted that Christianity and other religions, unlike Islam, do not require their followers to pray at specific times that fall within school hours, when children by law must be in school.

Yeah...but what about WHEN a Christian is CALLED to prayer suddenly? HUH????? THIS REALLY PI**ES me off!

Thats when they need to go to a private school where they fund their own agendas, not public tax payer school .

Actually, Christian Scriptures exhort the believer to "pray without ceasing." And while there is obviously more stringent requirements for the practice of Islamic prayers than Christian prayers, at what point does the school draw the line in the assimilation/accomodation tension? Do the Muslims need classes which are gender separated?

Once you allow for (and encourage) non-Western cultural and religious differences in education (because that is what this is about), there is no stopping point. Every new group represented simply becomes another constituency to be placated and catered to. And that's because "multi-culturalism" has been accepted as an unquestioned benefit to society. Though no one's sure why. It does sound like the nice thing to do.

What they convieniently forget is that the religion of hate, destruction and discrimination also makes allowances for adjusting the prayer time to fit circumstances.

Are not Christians required to witness their faith to others?
