“We want everyone to have the ability to meet and pray. We don’t care if you’re Buddhist, Muslim, Devil Worshipper, whatever: students should have the right to pray on their own freewill with a group ,” Way said.
According to the story, a group of students were praying on campus and another student who overheard them singing “Amazing Grace” complained. Said the student who complained to admin:
“Public school is a place of education, not religious activity. If they allow religious activity, they should be providing [it] for all religions.”
QUESTION: Do you agree or disagree with the lawsuit? Should students be able to meet on campus to pray?
