| Message | The issue is not so much the prayers, but the "leading" of prayers by teachers. Prayers can have a place in schools, but only if the student independatly chooses to make a prayer, to their god/religon. If teachers lead prayers, it gives authority and adds pressure to students to join the prayer. |
