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.

Was President Kennedy in favor of taking prayer out of public schools?

President John F. Kennedy's position on prayer in public schools was complex. While he personally supported the idea of religious freedom and the separation of church and state, he did not actively advocate for the removal of prayer from public schools. The Supreme Court's decisions in the early 1960s, which ruled against school-sponsored prayer, occurred during his presidency, but Kennedy's focus was more on civil rights and international issues rather than the specifics of school prayer.


Why do Maryland schools allow Muslim prayer?

The United States Bill of Rights allows for freedom of religion without discrimination against any religion. I don't know that Maryland schools do allow Muslim prayers, but there is no reason not to. There are schools all over the country that allow religious clubs say prayers everyday. Your question smacks of discrimination and prejudice because someone is Muslim. That is against the constitution.
