Talk:School prayer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please improve this article or discuss the issue on the talk page.

The article view only represents a US view on public prayer. What about the rest of the world? I don't know the command to put a label on the top page saying that the article does not represent a world view. This article could use one I think. Arm 00:56, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok I found the right tag. An issue as big and widespread as shoving religion down everyones throat (public prayer) has got to be an issue that exists outside the United States. --Arm 06:51, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

It certainly is. I will return later (possibly much later) to add information about the UK position. I would also be interested to hear views from other countries (eg France, which is highly secularised) on their experiences. --Ross UK 19:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I see that I have been beaten to it! Will add more at some point. --Ross UK 12:30, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] School Prayer

One thing about this article: no one ever said that kids can't pray in school at all. I changed the article to reflect the fact that it was MANDATORY prayer eliminated from public school, not prayer altogether.

[edit] Graduation

I heard of a few graduations across the US that were devoid of prayer due to complaints. I know for certain one happened in my school, Munford, and I also heard something about a school in Kentucky. I would appreciate help in expanding the new subsection. Neutronium 05:49, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
