Should prayer be allowed in school?
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I am humbled to appear before you with profound insights on whether prayer should be allowed in school. I am sure that most of you have had this thought for a while now. I am of the idea that worship should not be allowed in school.
We all come from different backgrounds and that not all of us belong to the same religion and in some cases, even believe in religion at all. Prayer is more affiliated with a specific religion. As a result, it is not possible to have schools discriminate other students into praying in one religious mode. In as much as the school might have a specific religious background, it is equally possible to argue that they do not pinpoint the students they admit. Students are from diverse background and the concept of which prayer model they should adopt is to be left with their parent.
Ladies and gentlemen, we take our students to school to learn, be good people in society and later form their own lives. Not even once do people take their kids to school for the sake of prayer. The issue of prayers is a private religious matter that should be left to the individual student to handle. The parents make these crucial decisions hence should not be turned to temples for solidarity in prayer.
I am a firm believer that the culture of worship is supposed to be implanted into a kid by the parents. If the parents genuinely pray, then the child will individually take the initiative also to pray. Mass prayers in schools should not be allowed ultimately. The schools can only offer individual rooms for students to go in and pray individually. This can be the best solution for those students who are genuinely prayerful.
I want to thank you for your time to listen to me. I loved the moment and may you have a fruitful day.
