Since prayer was taken out of schools in 1962, violence, drugs, and poor grades have steadily increased, along with many other problems such as suicide, disrespect, and anti-social behaviors. Prayer is also a form of free speech and free speech is protected under the First Amendment. A student should be allowed to pray of their own free will as long as it does not interfere with regular school activities. Violence and drug usage would drop and grades would increase, attendance would also improve. Children, teens and young adults would experience greater cultural diversity.
