Prayer in school

What do yall think about prayer in school? I was raised that you say a belssing before you eat..Now in this day and age, you better do it very quietly or even in your head.
When I was in school, school was God based. We were taught about morals and about bibles, there were even religious classes that you could attend.
Now our generation of children are forbid to praise God in school,pray or even have a bible with them.
what has this world come to.When I grew up we played outside untill mamma made us come in, at times wishing we dint have to come in then.We found things to do with friends other than drugs and gangs and plotting things to do to people.
We were happy, rolled in the dirt many times, played and I remember my grampa even eating the mud pies we made.
Now everything is calorie counted and artificially sweetened, my grandpa would of loved for us to put some sugar on those mud pies to help the taste, much less the rocks.
Our children are encouraged to get into youth group with a religion base rather than get into the gangs.
we had junior achievement and other things to do.
we taught bible school to the little ones and that was fun.
We didn't have video games much less ones that are all about gangs and killing or blowing up things
We invited people to bible school and sometimes talked about what a good time we had at school the nextday at school.
Now our children can't pray,bless their food, read a bible at school and are taught that these things are bad.
When the lord finally calls me home I will be proud to say a blessing and talk about the bible.
I am not afraid to do that now.
Now our children are told that those kind of people are bible thumps and that is forbid in our school.
Suppose we had another comberbine at out schools, don't you think those poor children that were being shot and killed were praying for help.
That is the time that we need God and our schools to pray for those that were so unjustly shot at and killed.Lives taken for something stupid.....And those that sell drugs at school to make an easy dollar at another students expense as well as lives.
So tell me what do you think about the presidents NO PRAYER IN SCHOOL thing?
I will teach my children as well as my grandchildren to pray even if it has to be silent in their head or at a brisk whisper.............Patti
