I disagree with the ruling. As a child I experienced teachers praying in school and Christmas celebrations. It’s a lot of pressure on young children and totally unnecessary. There are a lot of places one can pray. Teachers hold a lot of power. Public schools need to be a safe place for all children and believe me, school led religious practices does not create a safe place for children to learn.
I'm all for prayer, but I think it can be done outside of the public domain. The prayers are being conducted at a public event on public property. I think that's inconsistent with the consitutions intent of separation of church and state. This ruling opens the door for additional acts of religious coercion.
