School Prayer In this paper I am going to talk about the Ethics of School Prayer. I will be telling you about the differences between wanting school prayer in schools and not wanting school prayer in schools. I will also tell you about the statistics of the parents on who would like prayer in schools and the parents who do not want prayer in schools. There are so many people who would love to have prayer in schools for their children so they know how to keep their religion going even if they are in school. No matter what people believe in they will always know how to keep everything a debate and most of the time in court over an argument. So many kids would agree with their parents if they are really into their beliefs. They would have no argument of what they want in schools. There are so many children that would love to have school prayers in school and then there are the children that see no reason for the school prayers to be in the schools. There was a Judge that stopped being able to read the bible in schools and the bible that they were able to read was King James Version. This is what the article said on how he stopped the bible reading, Judge Alphonso Taft concluded that use of the King James Bible “is Protestant worship” and that “its use is a symbol of Protestant supremacy in the schools, and as such offensive to Catholics and to Jews.” 1 On review, the Ohio Supreme Court agreed with Taft and ended Bible reading in the public schools”(Stephen D Soloman). No matter what people say they will always have some type of disagreement and then have some type or argument then eventually take out the thing that they are fighting over. In this case it is school prayer. I think that it would be nice to have school prayer in schools but nobody would agree easily and it would lead to an argument and probably taken to court for a battle. Many parents do not agree with
