Religion banned from schools
There has been too much controversy with religion in schools. There are too many people offended by small things in today's world. Religion should be taken out of schools so that the church and the state can be seperated. According to adherents.com, President Bill Clinton updated the guidelines in 1998 to reflect court decisions of religious expression in public schools. One of the synopsis of the guideline was "Students may attempt to persuade peers about religious topics as they would any other topics, but schools should stop such speech that constitutes harassment."
Students should be allowed to pray quietly.If another student is interested in that religion, than they can pursue that religion, not be persuaded into it. No school has just one religion that students and teachers believe in, therefore, prayer is better left in the home and churches. According to allabouthistory.org, school prayer violates an accepted principle of American law. Also, allabouthistory.org states the agrument of the public school system was created for students and supported by taxpayers and therefore remain neutral. Prayer is legal and students have the right to pray in a non disruptive way buy it is not necessary.
In overall religion in schools cause more headache than anything. The government, society and religious representatives could agree that religion is something that will not change but the way it is handled can. Religion and school can not mix.

Religion in schools have been a controversial subject among parents and society. Personally, I believe that a group as a whole doesn't have to use religion, but if a child wishes to pray independently,then they should have the freedom to do so. Each child should have the right to use religion independently.
