=by:Domanique Talley= == citation :

viewpoints on my issue:
even if they are in school. || it may offend someone of a diffrent religion and the school could be held liable. ||
 * ==pros== || ==cons== ||
 * Students still have the freedom of speech

Court cases I used:

 * ==//**Sante fe independent school District Vs.Doe (2000**//)==

Summary

 * ==The argument brought up in this case ws that student should not be allowed to use the schools loud speaker to offer a student -led ,student -initiated prayer .==
 * ==//**Engel vs.Vitale (1962)**//==

summary

 * ==Students where required to say a prayer and recite a bible verse at the begining of the day after daily announcements ,at a public school in New York. They argued that this was unconstututional state establishment of religion and was in violation fo the first amendment .==
 * ==//**Abington scholl district Vs. Schempp**//==

Summary
==I think that students should have the right to say prayers at public school events regardless of their religion. Just because they are in a public school enviorment doesn't mean that their amendment right should be restricted ,because it may offend others. I also believe that if your not a christian you should still be allowed to say prayers at school, because you have the freedom of religion.==
 * ==A Pennsylvania law required that students start the day with the pledge of allegiance ans a reading from the Bible. This also allowed students to absent themselves from the activities if they found it objectionable.Following anohte court case the Supreme Court ruled that by the school sponsoring these activities they were in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First amendment .==
