Prayer At School Research Paper

Should Prayer be Allowed at School?

“If there will be tests at school, there will be prayer at school.” -Anonymous. Some people would sadly disagree with this statement. Prayer is a great way for kids to come together and learn about God and each other. Although some people disagree with prayer at school, I think it helps them to grow together and to love Jesus, based on the reasons below.

The first reason I think we should have prayer in school, is because you should be able to share your beliefs no matter where you are. Learning about God anywhere, especially school, can help you to grow closer to Him. having others tell you about Him can grow your faith SO much! Also, you should be able to tell others about God, because as a U.S. citizen you have a right to prayer, and religious speaking. No one should be able to tell you to stop prying if you have a right, and you’re not disrupting others. Also,

If you pray or speak religion, who has the right to judge you? Only God will Judge when it comes down to the last day, so would u rather be judged by the world, or be judged by Him? I would for sure rather be judged by the world for praying!
Another reason I think prayer should be in school, is because the government should have no control over prayer at school, because this is a free country.

The government has restrictions set on prayer at school, but other religions like creationism, buddhism, etc. Seems to be ok being taught and talked about at school. Teachers can teach about buddhism and creationism but they can't talk about Jesus or God. Why is that? They can teach about these religions but not about Christianity? Also, if you want to pray before a test or talk about your faith, who should be able to tell you no when that person has a religion of their own? Some people will say they are offended by prayer, but again, if they have their own religion or none why do they need to judge us? No one should be trying to judge a religion, because if that’s what that person wants, they can have it. If people do really have a problem with it, they should go and tell that person instead of judging them and telling their friends. Really that case could go for a lot of matters, especially at

school.
Last, people may say there's religious schools for a reason. This could be a problem for people who don't have the money, and can only afford a public school. That is perfectly fine! If you can’t afford the school, or you can't get there in time, go to a public school! You do have a right to go to a school of your liking, and people can't make you change schools because of your beliefs.
Why do people get so offended by prayer at school? Everyone has a right to prayer, or any other religion. And prayer for some people get help get them through the day. It can give them hope, less anxiety, and less worry. Our world is falling and we need God to save us!
