The ADL says that “All students have the right to silently say a prayer before a test, or grace before a meal. However, school officials must not be involved with private student prayer in any way” (1). In other words, silent prayer before a meal or before a test is allowed, as long as it does not interfere with the school's activity. School teachers, principles, or other faculty are not allowed to lead prayer or be involved in the student's prayer in any way.
This makes me wonder, how does a teacher feel when they see a student silently praying to themself?
If you a student about to pray before a test or a meal, does it make you uncomfortable being in an environment that is not exactly welcoming of prayer?
How do other classmates feel?
