Every person has the human right to engage in worship during public forums. Therefore every person has the right to pray at school. When prayer was still allowed in school, crime was low. In short, there was less crime everywhere. Consider the good old days when basic morals were taught at home. When the difference between right and wrong was applied. When family and religion were considered the most precious and precious things to have. Now look at the mess we've created. Children look up to their parents, and when parents don't impose values at home, they try to learn elsewhere. Today we live in a world where parents are too busy with their work to worry about their main priority; children. Some children even skip attempts to learn and shout to get attention. Every school deals with problem children who violate the code of conduct in some way, shape or form. Look carefully sixty years ago, prayer was allowed in schools and religion was strongly implied. We had fewer prisons full of human psychopaths and almost no serial crime like in today's society. Life was good and fair. Everyone treated each other with kindness and respect. Respect was a huge issue, as was the importance of believing in God. Nowadays people turn to the courts for every simple matter. There is no way they can behave like civilized and dignified human beings and talk about a certain situation to solve a problem. Once upon a time, if there was a problem, it was resolved with civil communication. Prayerless life at school has led to utter chaos. People go around stabbing and robbing each other like it's no big deal. There aren't enough decent people in the world. Think seriously, how many people can you actually trust and confide in... middle of paper... deprive them of the ability to learn and pray in public forums? No matter your race or religion, America is the land of opportunity and religion should be emphasized more. Works Cited Corbett, Cale. “Abington Township School District v.
