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)
