Prinicipal just made us pray

[Jenny A]

How is publically praying in a school illegal. See where I am there are Protestant schools and there are Catholic schools, or in some extremely rare ocassions a mixed school.

Private schools (all religious schools are private in the U.S.) can require prayer. The prohibitions are for public schools and schools payed for with tax dollars only. It's a Constitutional issue. The Constitution say Congress shall pass no law . . What private individuals do is another matter.
