I agree with the second column. I feel as though it says that we have always have had prayer in school, so why stop now? I also feel as though this country is based off of freedom and God. For example in the 2ndcolumn it states, “The court conduct its business after a chant that concludes, ‘God save the United States and this Honorable Court.’” Also it states that, “both houses of which have taxpayer-paid chaplains who pray for divine guidance and blessings.” To me this implies that the government includes prayer in their everyday routines. By taking prayer out of schools is so un-American to me. If we even base our government offices off of religion we should do the same for schools. Schools are the foundation for the youth of this country. Also if students wish to have prayer at the school and football games and the majority of the town agrees then so be it. Because this country is ran off of choice of majority, right? However, people who oppose to prayer in public school need to consider that they have the right not to take part in the prayer. America runs off of religion. For example, in our Pledge of Allegiance it states, “I pledge allegiance….one nation, under God…..” Clearly when the author of the Pledge of Allegiance wrote the Pledge of Allegiance he was thinking that religion is an important part of the foundation and tradition of America. American students who go to public schools still recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day. And during a moment of silence most students might choose to pray. The court departed from its own guidelines in the sense that they support prayer but just not in schools. I think this should all be reconsidered because prayer is a big factor of this countries history. For many years children have prayed in school and I think now with all the different cultures that have migrated here America feels as though they need to comfort the immigrants. I feel as though our country is ran off prayer and for those who do not like...
