FORCED no.

Allowed that is debateable... if you allow christian prayer shouldn't you allow muslims to take time each day to pray, atheist to have time for self, etc...

i know when i was in school i had a few teachers try to force me to stand for the pledge... it never worked i actually told one it was my religious right to sit. teachers are so afraid of suits they'll just leave you alone.

I do think WORLD religion classes should be offered in public schools. Its very importanta for children to get a broad idea of what life has to offer.

Now if its a private or alternative school you must follow any code of ethics you/your parents agree too
