They do not have chapel or religion classes, but in free time they are allowed to but they would probably get teased for it.

How do you decide issues about religion in the public schools?

It has already been decided by the government, public schools can't force kids to pray or attend religious meetings, and public schools can't forbid classes on religion as long as it is only an elective, they can't forbid after school religious clubs formed by students either.

Why is God not allowed in public schools and are there certain rights you have in school?

AWESOME QUESTION MAN (or girl)! God is not allowed in public schools because He might "offend" some kids or parents of kids that go to public schools. Children are not allowed to pray to God. However, I bet if you ask a local public school if their students are allowed to pray to Allah (not the same as the Christian God). There are certain rights you have in school, and that is you can have any religion, but you can't witness to other people. You cannot pray in front of other children, and teachers cannot teach religion unless its on a historical point of view. Is this fair, or unfair? You decide. :0) We actually studied this in school. The constitution of our country keeps school and church as separate as possible. there are multiple laws involved with the issue as well

Why isn't there any freedom of religon in public schools?

It says God's name in the pledge of allegence. i think thats rediculous. i am a catholic so i think this is very wrong. it im going to send out a law saying that public schools should say the pledge of allegence in public schools. I also think that public schools should pray and go to mass once a week. i know that catholic schools do too. this is also absolutely ridiculous. I also think that praying is the bomb dig a dig. praying and mass should be a important quiet time in your life. JUST REMEMBER TO PRAY GO TO MASS AND SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGENCE!
