If I were a Satan worshiper then yes.

You are missing my point, A teacher should be allowed to lead a prayer, if 
the people he/she is leading want to be there.

I don't think it should be done as part of a class. But they should not be 
kept from practicing their religion. What I am saying is along as every 
single person wants to be there, then it is ok. But if one person does not 
want to be a part of it, then they can ignore it, leave the room, or the 
people don't have to say the prayer.

I was part of things where a lot of the people involved want to say a 
prayer, the teacher usually led because he was the only one willing to 
speak, I stopped working or easting out of respect for their beliefs. 
People need to under stand that a group of people saying a prayer is not an 
infringement. It is an infringement if they are forced to say it also.
