Do Muslims get to have prayer in schools?
In the United States, any student (or teacher) can pray in school, and the religion is not supposed to matter. Students can- and do- form their own prayer, bible study, and other religious-based groups. That's all totally legal. The rule, as decided by the Supreme Court, is that the public schools themselves cannot force or otherwise coerce students to pray- the reason being that the Constitution disallows the government from choosing an official religion. If public schools (which are paid for by everyone who pays taxes, regardless of their religion) are forcing students to pray, then who decides what religion's type of prayer they are supposed to use? Well, the Constitution doesn't allow the government to choose one over the others.
