How do we go about getting mandatory prayer time implemented into all the public school curriculums?


Answer : Sadly, there is no way to accomplish this. Because of what's said in the Constitution (freedom of religion), we can not enforce students to pray, or for that matter set aside subjects to make prayer time. As wonderful as that sounds... I'm a 15 year old high school student, and being a freshman last year found it shocking that my older peers refused to even say the pledge. In one of my classes I was the only one to say the pledge without mumbling it out of the side of my mouth, and only 5 of the kids in that class *(out of roughly twenty)* even stood. It saddened me to see that often the teacher didnt' even stand for the pledge. I leaned over to my friend one day after the pledge had been said and asked, "Spencer, why didn't you say it?" Then he answered, "Dude, i haven't said the pledge a single time since third grade!"


So, in conclusion, if we can't even get children to say the pledge of allegience these days, then even if there WAS a mandatory prayer time, they would plea "Freedom Of Religion" and stay silent.
