Bob,

I would agree as long as the religious expression involved is private. The moment you stop the class so that a child of one religion can publicly pray, you have to give the other kids the right to walk out, which would be a bit disruptive. The only way out would be to stop the class every time any kid of any religion wanted to pray, which would certainly mean a major proliferation of prayer around test-time.

Bob,

I think I raised this issue once here before: religions that require their members to violate the religious freedoms of others, like Christianity and Islam, provide a very special problem in the interpretation of religious freedom. What takes precedence, your right to prosletyze or my right to maintain my religion in peace?

How do you think this should be handled?
