Funny how the need to be PC has transformed the way the liberals look at prayer in school.

CALL THE ACLJ....ANYBODY WHO HAS A KID IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IS A FREEPER. The ACLJ will likely help you out for free on this one....this could be a landmark case if it ever got to the SCOTUS that says it is NOT okay to support false religions and attack the Christian one in the public schools in the name of "tolerance" and allowing students the right to practice their faith (ignoring the Christians, of course).

This one comes pretty close to the line here. In terms of Supreme Court rulings - this is on thin ice, giving that the Supreme Court has repeatedly said that setting aside space for particular religious observances is questionable if not unconstitutional.

In terms of what I think is constitutionally permissible, as long as there is no coercion or promotion of or affliation with a particular religion by the school then it is legal.

Some Chicago schools, such as Von Steuben High, already set aside space for Muslim students to observe one of their five daily prayers, but other schools have been calling recently with questions about what is allowable...




How about what's inevitable?

This is good. Now with Advent beginning there will be a room set aside for Christian prayer, too. What? There won't?

God isn't allowed in schools unless he's an anti-American god.

Future suicide bombers learning their tade now in our public schools. Religion should stay out of school period. I understand why liberals dont object. Reason being they would not mind their children being a victim of a future suicide bombing by a Muslim. Can be the only reason why the ACLU has not already initiated court action.

I hope someone is keeping an eye on people who enter the public school prayer rooms and on objects those people leave behind.

We know young Muslims are willing to kill and are willing to risk their own lives to do that.

The pilgrims that came to this country are rolling over in there graves, everything they fought for, left there homes for, traveled months for, lost family members for, the love of The One True GOD has been slapped in there face. Those "school officials" just gave into the bully.
