What does pray in public scholls have to do with civil liberties?

One of our civil liberties is the freedom of religion. Prayer in school would be depriving a child of their freedom because it is forcing that child to say a prayer to a god in which they do not believe or pray to. For example, a violation of a civil liberty in school via pray would be forcing someone who reads the Koran to read The Bible. Another example would be making a Jew read the Koran. A public school is an institution that hosts a myriad of different religions and beliefs. Therefore, that institution should steer away from pray because it can't accommodate all of the different prayers without offending or stripping someone else of their civil liberty (freedom of religion)

Prayer in public schools is a contentious issue related to civil liberties because it involves the separation of church and state. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of religion, and allowing prayer in public schools could be seen as a violation of that principle. The debate centers around the balance between protecting religious freedom and ensuring that public institutions remain neutral and inclusive for all individuals.
