It's a issue fraught with over-reaction I feel. I said prayers, of a sort of general Christian nature, all through my schooling, and don't feel scared in any great way, but I think, in this day and age, with the growing religious diversity of many countries, that public schools should probably drop general prayers of all denominations. Have a prayer time, where folks can go off and pray to whatever deity inspires them, alone, or in self selected groups sure, but I think that general school prayers, in public schools should probably cease. I don't feel all that strongly about it, I think there are a lot of things of greater import. Leave it up to the individual schools council or something, but I don't think prayers should be forced upon a school. So I guess that's a kind of yes, and no.
