The administration has confirmed that student prayer will continue before Westview home games. I appreciate the commitment shown by the 708 people who signed this petition. We will remain attentive to ensure this tradition is respected in the future.

Do you know how many times a day someone says something I don't care to hear!? If you don't like it don't listen! It's that simple! Don't ruin it for the people that do want to listen!

This isn't an issue that should offend non-Christians so much that they attempt to stifle the majority. If someone doesn't wish to partake in the prayer they do not have to. To be honest though, if someone was speaking good will over my life I would welcome it even if I didn't believe it would do anything.

Has long has school staff doesn't say pray it is OK for the student to say pray. That is what was said when they past no prayer in school. Ever thought I disagree with that myself. Prayer needs to be in school. So stand up for what is right in Jesus's name and let it go on.

I understand one person has complained...There are hundreds of us that are for it...Seems to be unbalanced in your decision..Just think about the number of citizens that support the City of Martin daily and you want to make a decision to please just the one...Time to re-consider.

I attended Westview from 2009-2003 and would hate for one parent to stop what courageous Christian students started. It is much harder for a teenager to pray in front of a stadium full of people than for one parent to make a phone call.

Praying at Westview home games is something I always look forward to. With this being my last year in Hig School, I want to make sure that students after me are still allowed to stand up and pray for our athletes, refs, coaches, and schools.
