Prayer in Schools

   I saw a bummper sticker that said "As long as there are tests in schools, there is prayer in schools."
This is a very true statement, I have many friends who pray during class and tests, and no matter how hard the schools push to get rid of prayer it will always be there.
   Last semester in goverment, my dear friend and I had to study a previous Supream Court case and re argue it infront of a board of judges, it was scary,  but a lot of fun. I love to study and learn new things, so that wasnt hard, it was hard to deal with the point of view we had to argue.
  The case was Engle vs. Vitale, it was on the rights to have prayer in school. I was on the side agenst prayer, and being someone who believe in prayer and thinks it should be said, it was hard to see their point of veiw, but it was very interesting to me to read and study it. In the end my team won. But it was hard.
  For some people prayer isnt importent, so they see no need for it or feel like their children shouldnt be exposed to it. I think that a lot of people will find anything to get offended about, that it doesnt matter what it does to the other person, just what it does to them.
  Prayer is real, it works, so even if you can't say a prayer outloud, that doesnt mean you can't say one in your heart when you need it.
