Oddly enough, right before reading your headline, I was noticing my bookmarks about the prayer rooms in US public schools. (I know that UD is a private, Catholic University even though it gets much public (Federal) money)
The titles below are not the original FR titles, since I have added the words school prayer to ensure that the bookmarks are easy to find.
School prayer -- Chicago Public Schools set up Muslim Prayer Rooms
School prayer -- Chicago Schools Create Prayer Room for Muslims
School prayer -- Prayers room, Picture of Mecca
School prayer -- Rock Bridge accommodates Muslim students: "It sounds like we set up a mosque
I think that prayer rooms in public schools are a mistake. Schools with prayer rooms become "enforcers" for the local Imam. Muslim students who use the prayer rooms will notice which Muslim students do not use the prayer rooms.
There's a good chance that the local Imam will ask the praying students to let him know which other students are not using the prayer rooms faithfully.
America has a tradition of allowing people to practice their religion in the way they wish.
Public schools should not be in the business of "enforcing" strict adherence to Islam.
If all these public schools can have a Muslim prayer room, then they should also be able to have a Catholic prayer room or a Christian prayer room.
We need to address our concerns to schoolboards.
