Conservatives - The conservatives believe that kids should be able to pray in school without having to worry about getting mocked by others. They argue the point that America was based on Christian values and although today the country is made up with all types of religions, they feel that it should still be what it was in the past. Whether someone believes in God or not, every person should have a right to pray for what they believe.
Liberals - The liberals believe that school prayer should not be allowed in schools and it should stay out of it. They argue that kids will get insulted or mocked for what they believe in and praying. The liberals feel that education is more important than religion and in school teachings it should be taught not through religious ways.
It is clear that the Liberals are winning because in most high schools school prayer is not allowed. However, movies such as Remember the Titans and Friday Night Lights show that school prayer isn't actually a bad idea and people still value it. For example before football games teams usually pray to God for a good game and hopefully no one gets injured. It is hard to say that the kids on the team are all Christian but some actually pray because they are Christians and some actually pray along with the team so it unifies them together as one rather then being singled out. Although I am a Christian myself, i think that school prayer should stay out of schools. Praying in school is not necessary because one can pray at home or somewhere else unless he/she follows a different path and religion.
