Religion in Public Schools
Perhaps no aspect of the church-state controversy arouses more emotion and discussion than the subject of religion in public schools. ... Every single person in the United States has their own opinion and different views on religion in public schools. I feel many of them are against religion in public schools, as I am too. Prayer, Bible reading, and teaching religion are just a few problems we face in dealing with religion in public schools.
First, we have the overwhelming argument of prayer in public schools. Individual, silent, personal prayer never has and never could be outlawed in public schools. It is dishonest to call any prayer “voluntary” that is encouraged or required by a public official or legislature. Text from the proposed federal amendment reads: “Nothing in this Constitution shall be constructed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools. ... No one in the United States or any State shall compose the words of any prayer to be said in public schools. The government-through its proxy, the educators and administrators who facilitate our schools-may not lead children in prayer or force them to pray a certain way.
