What does the law say about prayer in school? 
 Read a few excerpts from the article entitled, "School Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance: Types of Prayer Banned" taken from the FindLaw webpage to help you become more informed.

Under the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, schools (as agents of the government) can neither encourage students to practice a religion nor restrict students' practice of religion. This is why many prayers in school, no matter how innocuous they seem or how generally they may apply, are banned in school. 
Types of Prayer Banned
Any activity that causes the school to advance one particular religion, or group of religions, over another will most likely be banned under the First Amendment. These types of activities include:
  • Mandatory Prayer: Forcing children to pray during school hours;
  • Teacher-Led Prayer: A school employee reciting a prayer with the expectation that students will repeat the prayer or think about the words said;
  • Invocations and Other Prayer at School Functions: Prayer by clergy, school employee, or student during school related event such as football games and graduations;
  • Voluntary Prayer: time set aside for students to pray; and
  • Student-Led Prayer: students may not use school resources, including the PA system or class time, to lead other students in prayer.
