    Are they "accommodated" and excused from class in order to do so? I've yet to see any schools allow Christians to do so. As far as I know, they are allowed to pray so long as they do it silently and to themselves.

    Ugh. If some kid wants to pray to whatever god that their math test isn't going to be too hard, or that their PE teacher isn't a colossal pervert etc, they can do it in their own time before or after class.

    And look at that for a killer last sentence "many of whom remember when the school was a Christian institution".

    And most Americans fail to see the power the muslims are rapidly gaining in our government. Obama promotes that power . We are being destroyed from within.
    This accommadation is just a red flag for a much larger movement being pushed by obama...
    think --NASA and muslim outreach...then think what obama truly plans for...

    The prayer requirements for Christians doesn't involve a rug and facing toward Mecca. Allowing the Muslims to leave the classroom to attend to their prayers prevents disruption for the remaining students.

    Yeah, which is stupid. If someone wants to pray they have plenty of time before/after classes or during breaks and lunch.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    And why do they have to pray during class time? How about causing no disruption at all by praying during none-class time?

    What if they simply want privacy during the day to do their prayers? An accommodation for one religion and not another, is favoring one. Either give equal access and accommodations, or none for any. The fact that some scream and whine about a Catholic prayer in school, and then defending Muslims getting out of class to have a prayer rug and able to face Mecca, is kind of funny. The reason always given is that prayer shouldn't be in school, but somehow it's acceptable for Muslims AND acceptable to get out of class for the prayer no less? Christians like the group prayer, the way it used to be. The schools should allow for the Christians to meet somewhere in the early morning hours and have a group prayer, which is and used to be quite popular at events, and school.

    But ANY exception to one religion, and not all, is simply favoritism.

    I agree, but some will say because Muslims have specific times to pray 5 times per day. I don't care if their religion calls for this or not, it's still the school accommodating their religious beliefs.

    Let's look at it this way - suppose other recognized religions now talk about what their religion expects of them, or that they have requirements - they too should then get similar accommodations, no? So long as it's a legit religion. I know of a few religious organizations that have group prayer several times per day several times per week. Give these people time out of classes to go the lunchroom or conference room or auditorium in order to have their group prayers. Or will this not be allowed, or perhaps told it's not something they need, because their prayer will revolve around Jesus?

    jimnyc: If you really take time to consider, and take a long, hard look at what the outcome of this could be.

    It would be a Small, First step at introducing SHARIA Law into our Government Education System if ANYONE bends over to appease such demands. While...at the same time. Telling Christians...THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PRAY, or CELEBRATE religious Holidays...like Christmas, or Easter in those Same schools.
    Double standards usually become the Political Correctness standards. Which have the capability of becoming SHARIA LAW VS. U.S. Constitutional Law.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    They're meant to pray before sunrise, after mid-day, late afternoon, just after sunset, and between sunset and midnight.

    Only one of those, midday, falls under school time, and thats probably around the time they have their lunch.
