New School Prayer

Oh really? Of course, I haven't been in school for a long, long time. But I was under the impression prayer was pretty much not allowed.

I guess I shouldn't put it that way. I'm sure some kid could walk down the halls praying. But rather that there could not be any kind of formal or "led" prayer in any classroom.

Not that I have a problem with that. I think it's out of place, and apples to oranges to compare it with purple hair. I'm sure hair-dying sessions are also neither allowed nor discussed as part of the ciriculum or class activities.

But I'm sure the feeling exists among Christian kids that prayer is very looked down upon in a scholastic environment, and that it's a bit of p.c. that's gone overboard.

Of course, I more bemoan the fact that - gangs the cause or not - kids are often not free to dress as they want, and certainly are not free to express political or other opinions in the scholastic environment.
