I am not opposed to prayer at a HS wretling tournament--if it is voluntary and not intrusive. What I and several others question is the organization, or attempt to organize, a public prayer in and on a public school and activity. Can a student get up in class and organize/lead a prayer; can a eacher or coach organize a prayer in a class or at a school sponsored activity. Don't think so!!

What can a school do: I think they can or should be able to set aside an announced time and private place where students, and faculty, can have private thoughts, meditate, even prayer. And, I think they can present nonreligous classes on the academic study of religions (NOTICE SAID RELIGIONS---NOT JUST ONE RELIGION). What could such classes teach? How aboput the comparative studies, the history and philosophy of World religions, the conficts between World religions, the demographics of World religions, etc. etc. This would not include denominational religious studies or services--those are conducted in the church!!
