No To Mandatory Prayer 1. Many feel that by forcing students to pray, this undermines their right in the First Amendment of freedom of religion. 2. Giving prayer time in school cuts the time that should be spent on learning. 3. Voluntary school prayer is already allowed based on the guidelines issued by the U.S Department of Education. Schools that do not follow these guidelines will lose federal education funds.
Prayer In Schools
This was the original "Pledge of Allegiance" as it was dictated for many successive years until Congress decided to add the religious phrase "under god" fifty-five years ago.
WallBuilders, an organization advocating mandatory prayer in schools, believe that a restriction in religious activity will result into a decline in moral values in society. For example, students will fail to respect others and become dishonest. They will forget to be thankful for their blessings, resulting into selfishness. Liberation will increase such that students will not be conversative and just do what they please.
