Public Prayer

Public prayer has many ups and downs with every decision made. Today, in our public schools there is absolutely no prayer in, or near the school. In Washington, there were twelve students at Heritage High School wanting to make a prayer club, before, during, and after school. Administrators would not allow the students to meet in a private room, so they decided to meet at the cafeteria in the morning to pray. Another student at the high school, who claims to be a satanist, rated out on the twelve Christian students to the vice principal. The vice principal ended up telling the Christian students that they could not pray in the cafeteria and would need to take it outside. The Christian students disagreed and refused to move, and were suspended for 3-10 days. Some say, that the Christian students constitutional rights were violated.

This makes me made because kids should have the right to pray, if they're not bugging anyone. I wish I could go to the vice principal and ask him, "Why?". I would love to know because there is no reason for a group of Christian students wanting to pray before school and during lunch, to not be allowed; because they're not hurting anyone and the group would be in a little area so they wouldn't bug anyone. I think the principal at his school should take a look at Stuyvesant High School because they ended up letting a group of Christian kids pray and actually allow a Christian Group (club).
