First of all I agree with the objection of the non-Christian parents. Although it’s most probably a harmless violation of the Amendment that regards the separation of church and state the teacher shouldn’t include the Christian prayer in school. Even though the students can choose whether to participate or sit quietly, the prayer affects all of them who sit in class. I mean isn’t this way an unconscious intake of the information?
Secondly, the teacher projects her belief on the students which is partly also not correct because America claims to be a country that encourages the freedom to follow your own religion.
What the school could do is to offer a religious class as additional subject in case some parents would like the idea. That is how the school system used to be when I went to school and I think it is a good solution.
