Prayer Groups

Re Prayer groups in schools (May 9): Schools are for learning and providing an education. Learning begins with curiosity and questions. Prayer groups do not require either of these two elements; they demand faith. Faith is an unquestioning belief in a dogma.
In a group of students, whether seniors or freshman, there is usually a wide variance of beliefs; whose will prevail? There is no place for prayer in public schools; it is divisive.
In my opinion, this is another ploy by the fundamentalist Christians in their attempt to make their beliefs the established religion of the United States. This is absolutely unconstitutional.
