Prayer In Public Schools

Prayer has been in our nation for a long time. Many people may say that praying is the best part of their day, but now the state board of regents has taken prayer out of our schools systems. Taking pray out of school was not that easy to do, because they had to go through many court cases. Many people may that we don't need to pray in our schools or even need prayer at all, but for me I think that christians need to take a stand, and put prayer back in our schools

Nothing gets someone fired up than talking about religion. Unfortunately this is the topic that most often misunderstood, but it helps to know some basic ideas about the topic. Before getting upset about it. ¨Ninety percent of America's youngsters attend public schools. These students

She is a very well known atheist. She has even written books about being an atheist, and she has even lead an atheist movement. ¨Murray was known for her role in the landmark 1963 Supreme Court decision in Murray v. Curlett, which, combined with abington v. Schempp, ended school prayer in public schools across the U.S. and turned her into the self-described "most hated woman in America." ( Madalyn) ¨Madalyn Murray O'Hair became a household name when she contested the required moment of prayer and Bible reading in her son William's Baltimore-area public school in 1960. The Supreme Court, then under Chief Justice Earl Warren, delivered its 8-1 verdict in favor of O'Hair on June 17, 1963, expanding an earlier school prayer decision in the 1962 Engel v. Vitale case. Murray v. Curlett, along with Abington v. Schempp, eliminated not only obligatory school prayer but also mandatory Bible readings in public schools¨ (Madalyn). Everybody can say what they want too, but I strongly believe that christians have no rights. If a alities can say that they don't like something, and the court systems will do whatever they can to make them happy, but if a christians saying they get punished. Like I have said before us as christians need to take a stand, and by putting prayer back in school is the first

A recent study done by a man named David Barton. Say how America has plummeted from righteous living, prosperity and success in the last quarter century. ¨Mr. Barton’s graph, shows America’s moral decline rapidly accelerated following one event – the U.S. Supreme Court’s removal of prayer from our nation’s schools. On June 25, l962, 39 million students were forbidden to do what they and their teacher had been doing since the founding of our nation – publicly calling upon the name of the Lord at the beginning of each school day. Also the other way people can tell that it has changed our generation. Is simply by looking¨ (Bergal) God has been taken out of the schools, and the devil has moved in . Just in 2015 a alone, there has 52nd school shootings, based on data compiled by the anti-firearm organization Every town for Gun Safety, the Kansas City Star, and RT. Friday’s shooting at TSU . ( Bergal) Of the 52 shootings, 21 have been at colleges and universities, 15 at high schools, three at middle schools, 10 at elementary schools, two at preschools, and one on a school bus. Clearly we need to do something about this. Our nation needs God now more than ever. Allowing students to participate in a moment of prayer every morning is not a panacea for our nation’s problems, but it’s one step in the right direction. (Bergal) It’s
