I don't quite understand how this can happen. How is it possibly legitimate to ban prayer? I understand disallowing an employee to force students to pray, but to ban it for the employee entirely? Just because it makes people uncomfortable? I don't know. I wouldn't do it for Judaism, or Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, or Druidism; so why for Christianity? It's upsetting.
I've heard a lot of stories about people getting unnecessarily accosted by some of the campus crusade people on campus. I understand why that it isn't right, why it's uncomfortable, and why you would like to see more restrictions on what they're allowed to do. However, I think it is a basic right of any faithful person to be able to pray - does this right need to be curtailed in the public sphere? This is something I simply am not equipped to answer at the moment. What do you think?
