Scool Prayer

I don't think a school prayer is necessary at all. There shouldn't be a school prayer at all in public schools, but for private schools I feel a prayer would be appropriate. Since most private schools are Jesuit, this would be the only circumstance that school prayer could be allowed, but for a public school to instill such a rule is not needed. The reason public schools shouldn't have a prayer is because there is such a diverse community within public school districts. People from all sorts of religious and ethical backgrounds go to school for learning, not praying. No where in a prayer do I see a teenager in high school, or a child in 5th grade benefiting from a prayer at any point during the school day.
