after receiving a forward about prayer in school
August 15th, 2006
i actually have an issue with prayer in schools ONLY because it generally means CHRISTIAN prayer. what would allowing (only) christian prayers in a non religious, tax payer supported institution be saying to the jews, the hindu’s the moslems etc. who have a right to their religions practices being valued? it reeks of colonialism and missionary arrogance. i don’t hear the law separating church and state as saying no prayer, they are saying if your religious ceremonies/prayers are “exclusive” then keep them out of here. that policy meets my need for fairness.
