of the School District. For example: "See you at the pole" is an annual meeting for public prayer, generally organized by conservative Protestant public school students. As with the National Day of Prayer, Roman Catholics, liberal Christians, non-Christians, who may wish to create an inter-faith event at which all theists can participate, are generally excluded from the organizing committee. Students gather at their school's flagpole, outside of regular classroom hours, usually at 7:00 hours local time. Starting in the year 2006, this observance will be held on the fourth Wednesday in September." High School students can use space at the public school to have a bible study. It has to be lead by a student. There is prayer in schools, but according to the law is has to be initiated and lead by students and it is!!!! But, as we Roman Catholics teach, prayer is first and foremost taught by the parents. It is the responsibility of the parents to pray with and bless their children before they go to school. It's not the schools responsiblity. The problem is not with "taking prayer out of schools" as now defunct Mr. Falwell would have you believe, it's with mom and dad not praying with their children to bless, begin and protect them throughout the day. Faith is nourished in the FAMILY and at HOME and we will not relinquish this responsiblity to public schools.
