There is a pretty clear point in the Constitution about the need to prevent the State from supporting a religion - one of any singular nature.
But IF we are going to have public schools (and I don't see that changing), then we have to allow people to pray. But I don't see that as a teacher-led prayer. Rather, a more "Quaker" style would suffice - offering a moment of silence to speak to your God. Agnostics and atheists can stand a moment of blank silence, while Hindus/Muslims/Jews/Catholics, etc. can do as they see fit. Silently, of course. No free speech is tread upon, and the "separation" of church and state remains intact. And nobody's religious sensibilities are hurt.
