    Because muslims are special.

    Only one of those, midday, falls under school time, and thats probably around the time they have their lunch.
    And considering this would be one of the only public schools in the nation affording this accommodation, it's already been shown that tons and tons of kids have been doing just fine negotiating their Muslim prayers up until now. But again, the bottom line is that if you are going to fight to keep prayers out of the classroom, fight to keep prayers out of speeches, out of games, out of graduations - then you don't turn around and give an accommodation to a different religion.

    They were unable to 'bless their food' without speaking out loud?

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?

    It would be more polite to do so inwardly imo.

    OK, as long as schools are consistent. That's the biggest issue here, from what I can see.

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.
    Where are all the libtard whiners who claimed Christian prayer in school is a violation of the separation of church and state? Where is the ACLU to come in and rattle their sabers at Islamic prayer in schools?

    I can't believe some of you believe it is a bad thing. Kids who are praying are going to be well centred and well behaved.

    Most of us believe it is good, and would like for Christian prayer in schools too, but it's not allowed. It's equality we're speaking of here, if you accommodate and allow one, simply allow others the same/equivalent. I've got no issue if they allow Muslim kids a chance to pray - as soon as they allow Catholics/Christians equal opportunities/accommodations.

    Oh really? Do these jihadists don't seem to be centered or well behaved?
