Meanwhile Muslim students are allowed to LEAVE CLASS to pray.
As long as anybody else can leave class to pray then there isn't an issue. Of course, a Christian can pray without a single person knowing.

But isn't that the point?

LINK schools do not allow Christian Clubs even when they meet after school.

And, when they are telling teachers they cannot have a Bible on their desk, even though they are not using the Bible to proselytize. How can you allow some to pray in the school with access to school rooms and not allow a teacher to have a personal Bible anywhere on their desks? My question would also be...are students allowed to have their Bibles at school? Or Koran? Or Torah? To allow one group to practice their religion at a school and restrict others seems....wrong?

Since the Muslims are required to pray 5 times a day at certain hours, it would be an organized prayer time in the middle of the school day. I wonder if they would allow a Christians Club to leave class to have prayer in the middle of the day and provide them with a classroom? Probably not.

Prince George County High School Principal Cheryl J. Logan said the initiative is in response to the “needs of the growing Muslim community,”

So, while schools are fighting Christians to practice their faith, they are making allowances for "the needs of a growing Muslim community"?
