This link is a personal opinion and the writer can’t write. I’m afraid it would never sway me in either direction.

This is an interesting site and I will return to it when time permits because it does ask a lot of interesting sociological questions. The following is a quote from it and if you disagree, that is your prerogative.

“We didn’t have all these school shootings when we had prayer in the schools, so putting prayer back in the schools will prevent school violence.”

There are serious problems with this logic. One is that there is a puzzling delay between prayer removal and school shootings. School prayers were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1964. Millions of children have attended schools without prayer for 35 years, yet mass shootings such as those in Littleton, Colorado and Conyers, Georgia began to increase in frequency only recently. If the removal of prayer from schools were the cause of violence by school children, the shootings should have begun decades ago.

Another problem with the school prayer solution is that prayer outside the school doesn’t seem to prevent violence. We have repeatedly seen that extremist organizations often make prayer a cornerstone of their organizations, yet such groups are often violent. And the Georgia boy who recently took a revolver and rifle to school and shot six of his classmates had prayed in church with his family the night before. If praying in church does not prevent school violence, what reason is there to suppose that praying in school will?

Reading this info makes me want guns controlled more logically, not prayer in school.

This looks like your cup of tea but to look at the actual poll one has to pay. Hmmmm.

 I like this quote from the above link.

"At one time, a majority was in favor of slavery, of killing Native Americans, committing genocide, of denying women the right to vote, of segregation and lynching blacks," Mr. Cook said. "That's why we have a Bill of Rights, so we don't have the tyranny of the majority over the minority."

My reaction to reading all that you put forth is that school is not the place (nor do they actually have the time because of all the testing that has been forced upon the students) for prayer.
