Below are what some well known people are saying...

 


Dr. James Dobson

Did you know that it’s perfectly legal to pray in public schools? According to the Alliance Defending Freedom, a ministry which I helped found in 1994…

…students can:

  • Pray on their own or in groups during non-instructional time at school as long as it does not significantly disrupt the activity of the school.
  • Engage in student-initiated, student-led prayer before or after practices, sporting events, or other school functions as long as such prayers are voluntary and not required by coaches or other school officials.

    • So, Christian students, I encourage you to be bold and share your faith. Pray for opportunities to witness the love of Christ to your fellow classmates.

Quotes From Presidents

 

President Bill Clinton

In 1995, then-President Bill Clinton issued a memo titled “Religious Expression in Public Schools,” that said in part:

 

“It appears that some school officials, teachers and parents have assumed that religious expression of any type is either inappropriate, or forbidden altogether, in public schools. As our courts have reaffirmed, however, nothing in the First Amendment converts our public schools into religion-free zones, or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the schoolhouse door. While the government may not use schools to coerce the consciences of our students, or to convey official endorsement of religion, the government’s schools also may not discriminate against private religious expression during the school day. "

President Ronald Reagan

On AUGUST 11, 1984, by an 88-11 Senate vote and a 337-77 House vote, Congress passed the Equal Access Act, stating:

 

“ "It shall be unlawful for any public secondary school which receives Federal financial assistance and which has a limited open forum, to deny equal access or a fair opportunity to, or discriminate against, any students who wish to conduct a meeting within that limited open forum on the basis of the religious, political, philosophical, or other content of the speech at such meeting"

 

Regarding this, President Reagan commented August 23, 1984 at Reunion Arena, Dallas, Texas:

 

"We even had to pass a special law in the Congress just a few weeks ago to allow student prayer groups the same access to school rooms after classes that a Young Marxist Society ... would already enjoy."
