    Comments: Me as a student of Hale County High School in Moundville Alabama I agree with this person 110% because The Virginia Tech was a turning point in my life also my fellow americans should get the Bible off of the shelf or wherever you have it you should open it up and read the book of Praverbs ans Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give the desires of thined heart. Also John 3:16 We need prayer in our scools I gaurentee if we still did 80 more percent of the U.S, we accecpt Jesus as their savior Cody S.

    Comments: As you know, we've been working real hard in our town to get prayer back in the schools. Finally, the school board approved a plan of teacher-led prayer with the children participating at their own option. Children not wishing to participate were to be allowed to stand out in the hallway during the prayer time. We hoped someone would sue us so we could go all the way to the Supreme Court and get that old devil-inspired ruling reversed. Naturally, we were all excited by the school board's action. As you know, our own little Billy (not so little, any more, though) is now in the second grade. Of course, Margaret and I explained to him no matter what the other kids did, he was going to stay in the classroom and participate. After the first day of school, I asked him, "How did the prayer time go "Fine." "Did many kids go out into the hallway" "Two." "Excellent. How did you like your teacher's prayer" "It was different, Dad. Real different from the way you pray." "Oh Like how" "She said, 'Hail, Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners...'" The next day I talked with the principal. I politely explained I wasn't prejudiced against Catholics but I would appreciate Billy being transferred to a non-Catholic teacher. The principal said it would be done right away. At supper that evening I asked Billy to say the blessings. He slipped out of his chair, sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes, raised his hands palms up and began to hum. You'd better believe I was at the principal's office at eight o'clock the next morning. "Look," I said. "I don't really know much about these Transcendental Meditationists, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if you could move Billy to a room where the teacher practices an older, more established religion.'" That afternoon I met Billy as soon as he walked in the door after school. "I don't think you're going to like Mrs. Nakasone's prayer, either, Dad." "Out with it." "She kept calling God 'O Great Buddha...'" The following morning I was waiting for the principal in the school parking lot. "Look, I don't want my son praying to the Eternal Spirit of whatever or to Buddha. I want him to have a teacher that prays in Jesus' name!" "What about Bertha Smith" "Excellent." I could hardly wait to hear about Mrs. Smith's prayer. I was standing on the front steps of the school when the final bell rang. "Well" I asked Billy as we walked towards the car. "Okay." "Okay what" "Mrs. Smith asked God to bless us and ended her prayer in Jesus' name, amen -- just like you." I breathed a sigh of relief. "Now we're getting someplace." "She even taught us a verse of scripture about prayer," said Billy. I beamed. "Wonderful. What was the verse" "Let's see..." he mused for a moment. " 'And behold, they began to pray; and they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their God.'" We had reached the car. "Fantastic," I said, reaching for the door handle. Then I paused. I couldn't place the scripture. "Billy, did Mrs. Smith say what book that verse was from" "Third Nephi, chapter 19, verse 18." "Third what" "Nephi," he said, "It's in the Book of Mormon." The school board doesn't meet for a month. I've given Billy very definite instructions that at prayer time each day he's to go out into the hallway. I plan to be at that board meeting. If they don't do something about this situation, I'll sue. I'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to. I don't need the schools or anybody else teaching my son about religion. We can take care of that ourselves at home and at church, thank you very much. Give my love to Sandi and the boys. Your friend, Jack

    Comments: we had prayer and the Pledge of Allengiance when I went to school and I think it made us get along better, due to the fact we said prayers, and the allengiance. We need to get that feeling back into the society of today.

    Comments: I have been called by the Lord because he has put it so heavny on my heart that its hard to breath sometimes. It is me that is supposed to stand up for my childrens schools to get prayer back in the schools. PLEASE tell me what to do!! Little Rock Arkansas all the public schools is what the Lord has on my heart should be restored to him because God is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. I could go on all day about how wonderful the Lord is but I feel an urgency about getting prayer back in schools and I think the old devil puts confusion in us and tries to make us think it is too hard so I am lookingyour way prayerfully for the best way to start
