Madeline Murray O'Hare But, it wasn't a campaign to remove prayer from schools. It was a campaign to remove FORCED prayer from schools. Anyone who wishes to may pray in a public school, really.

What are the statistics of violence before and after prayer was taken out of schools?

There is no direct correlation between the removal of prayer from schools and an increase in violence. Multiple factors contribute to levels of violence, including societal changes, access to resources, and individual behavior. It is essential to consider the complexity of these issues rather than attributing changes solely to the elimination of prayer in schools.


Does The Bill of Rights explicitly prohibit prayer in public schools?

No. Nothing in the Constitution prohibits prayer in any location. The Bill of Rights just states that people have the right of religion without the state interfering. The idea that schools don't allow prayer is bunk. A student can pray if they wish and can have a religious club on campus, but the school can't do a morning prayer over the intercom system. The problem is whose prayer would they do? If we are to respect all and allow all their religion then school having a morning prayer would be against the constitution and others rights. Someone out of the many hundreds of students in a school would have their rights "stepped on" with a prayer done by the school.
