Religion must be taken out of public schools
Parents if anyone are the agents to lead their children into which ever faith they practice. (As much as I believe a child should be given the right to believe what they wish.)
Public schools have no right or authority to impose religious beliefs on anyone else's child. Prayer, reading and religious teaching of any kind imposed by public schools are short changing a child's potential for growth and experimentation.
Students have the right to figure out there own belief system, free from the peer pressures of the classroom.
It should be against the law for any government funded educational facility to impose religious beliefs.

i also agree. mainly because public education is a communistic idea, and communism is a big supporter of atheism, so religion cant exist in public education. i think all personal expresions of religion should be allowed, for example if players from a football team want to say a prayer before a game, they should be allowed to, so long as its made up of willing participants. In conclusion, dun force religion, but dun get rid of it either.

I think a football team would rather have a beer

Agreed, it's a personal matter, the government has no mroe right to do this than they do to tell you to put your tiolet rolls overtop or underfold (though i'm sure they might try)
