The teacher and the school board when they punish the entire class for being disruptive! Either way, you are going to have a problem.
Imagine this: when I was in school many years ago, every morning we said the Pledge of Allegiance to both the US and Texas flags. So, instead of saying this at a designated time each day, we decide that they can say it anytime they want. Do you think this might create some problems for the teacher? Do you think it might be disruptive to the rest of the class? Common sense, which isn’t that d@#n common anymore, says give the entire school a time to do that thing you do, so it doesn’t create a problem later!
Sorry, I was trying to say the following:
The teacher and the school board can and will stop an entire class from praying because they will all get into trouble for being disruptive. So, if you allow prayer at a certain time, or you don’t you are going to have a problem.
Which one should it be? And I have to say, like a few others, this sounds more like “restricting my rights to freedom of religion.”
Down here in Texas, we had a church group that was using the school lunch room as their sanctuary on Sundays. Someone filed a complaint that it was violating separation of church and state. It took three court rulings before a judge finally said, this is public property and if the public wants the land used for that, then so be it. He specifically stated, “...holding services in a public building does not establish a religion. But, denying the very people who paid to build this school the right to use the property as they see fit is expressly infringing upon their right to freedom of religion.”
