Is Prayer Allowed in Public Schools?

In Texas, a federal appeals court overturned a judge’s rulings that prayer would be allowed during the graduation ceremony taking place. Governor Rick Perry and state Attorney General Greg Abbott felt that prayer should be allowed at a graduation ceremony. The lawsuit was first filed by an agnostic family, and they claimed that their son would suffer “irreparable harm” if anyone prayed at the graduation ceremony. The crazy thing about it is that Congress convenes everyday with a prayer. The First Amendment allows Americans to practice free religion. So why can’t people pray in school and public events? This shouldn’t be restricted from being done. There will always be controversy with this opinion. I think that there should be prayer and the people who don’t participate in it will not pray, that’s all.
