The ADL stated that Federal courts have determined that moments of silence that promote prayer are unconstitutional.
This really confuses me. What if someone in the school passes away? What if the person that passes away was religious? Would they not want to have a moment of silence offered for them with a purpose of prayer?
According to http://www.publicagenda.org/charts/more-two-thirds-americans-say-school-prayer-should-be-permitted-public-schools-when-asked-choose-half, Public Agenda gave Americans a survey on if they had to choose to allow a spoken prayer, a moment of silence or silent prayer, both, or neither. 28% voted a moment of silence, while 22% voted for silent prayer and while 21% preferred both moment of silence and silent prayer. 16% would prefer spoken prayer while 1% has no opinion. This survey shows that most Americans would agree with allowing moments of silence in public schools, so what is the big deal?
