Reading the Bible in School

[Stoked]

Help me understand Stoked, why is it the responsibility of public schools in the first place to provide time and space for religious worship/rituals? I agree with you that IF public schools are to do this, they cannot privilege one religious belief over another, but what I have a hard time accepting is that public schools have a duty to provide ANY religious belief time and space during school hours for worship/rituals.

I do not see them as under a legal obligation to provide such a time. But if it is a popular concern of the people in their area then why not? Again granting no organization from the school beyond providing the opportunity to do so if the individual student wishes to do so.

Do you see this as seperated or linked to school associated groups and clubs that have a religious requirement to join?
