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 this is the whole point of what we are talking about. This is the statement you made earlier in the thread. My point is that the schools are NOT giving equal treatment.

They are given equal opportunities. If one requires the use of it and the other doesn't, then I don't see an issue. I believe policies should be equal access and opportunity, no more and no less. What else can we expect, otherwise we're getting towards the left's equality on outcomes.

So tell me...is it school sponsored if the school provides facilities and time for the students to pray?

No, it any religion is given the same. It's an accommodation (similar to a wheelchair ramp), that one can and commit use. Some may be more likely to use it, but that's not an issue as long as they can go.

Do you know what equal opportunities are? The Christian students wanted to go to a room to pray during a time when other students were texting, reading and socializing and they were denied. The Muslims wanted to go to a room and they were not only granted a room they were allowed to go during class.

That is what you call equal? You would have been wonderful during the 1960's with white and black bathrooms.

Either you aren't understanding or you refuse ot understand. The Christian group was denied. The Muslim group was granted.

I will ask again....if a Christian group requested a time to pray and a special set aside room on school grounds to pray in during school hours, do you think the ACLU and Freedom From Religion people would be all over it and taking it to court?

What if a Catholic kid wanted a crucifix at the front so he or she could kneel and properly pray, while doing so aloud?

Would they just be shite out of luck?

The Muslims would consider that blasphemous during their prayer and would raise holy hell.

So whose rights go to the forefront, so to speak? Who gets first dibs on using the room?
