Either way, it's not the same as students praying as part of a required religious practice.


One more example of your double standard.

Christians are instructed to pray and to witness. How would you feel if Christians decided to pray in the middle of class or to witness to other students in the middle of class? Are you saying we should allow Muslims to practice their religion at school, but it is unacceptable for Christians to practice their religion? or Wiccans? VooDoo? Mormons? Where are you going to draw the line?

And they still can. I could pray in school, and I talked about religion with people. But I wouldn't expect anything more than the school to provide an accommodation for a place to pray if necessary. It can't be unnecessarily disruptive (e.g., pray loudly in the middle of a lesson).

No, I'm saying that schools should provide reasonable accommodations (a small room to pray) for all religions. No more, no less. As long as students can use the same accommodation (brief place to pray privately), then there is no issue.

Do you have evidence that the school in the OP is barring Christians from doing the same, if they request it?
