I've been seeing this issue brought up by politicians again...

If you believe that there should be enforced prayer in schools... meaning, led by the teacher regardless of the students' individual beliefs... what religion and denomination do you think should be enforced?

Do the teachers have to give a Baptist prayer, or can a Catholic teacher pray in Latin? Can a 7th Day Adventist pray for all of their students to go to church on Saturday so they won't go to H*ll? Can a Pentecostal teacher bring in a venomous snake and require the students to hold it, while the teacher has seizures and speaks in tongues?

Should an atheist or Muslim teacher lead a Baptist-style prayer in whatever way they see fit?

Should a Christian teacher that believes in Matthew 6, where Jesus said that you should not pray in public and should instead go into your room and close the door to pray... should that teacher be legally required to pray in public and violate their own religious beliefs?

Also related to Matthew 6... should all prayers just be the Lord's Prayer on repeat, every day and every time?

If you believe that there should be enforced prayer in schools, can you clearly define exactly what you expect?
