re: #396 Obdicut

I think kids should be allowed to pray at school. I don’t think they should be forced to pray, or there be official times to pray. But just like I think Jewish kids should be allowed to wear yarmulkes even if the school has a general ‘no headwear’ policy, I think that Muslim kids should be allowed to go pray during the ritual hours.

We shouldn’t let conformity get in the way of religious freedom.

Kids can pray at public school at any time. They just can’t have school officials lead the prayers.

I’m also against Muslim kids being excused to do ritual prayers as well as no headgear policies. I’m also against uniforms in public schools, but lost that battle years ago.
