[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] 1<sup>st</SUP> of 2: Good point about prayer in schools. There are no atheists in foxholes, nor are there many in the presence of a pop quiz. As far as allowing prayer in class, I would think that it would be against the law to prevent someone from observing an important aspect of their faith. When I worked as part of our mobility program at the base, I was occasionally asked to escort an Islamic person (person of the Islamic faith? What's the proper term anyway?) to a sequestered room so they could pray at the appropriate time in privacy (once you've processed in, you may not leave the area except under escort, until you get on the plane). As long as it did not seriously disrupt the mobility process, we went to great lengths to ensure that those who wished to comply with their religion were afforded the opportunity to do so. Many religions allow their members some leeway in the performance of some requirements when it conflicts with good sense. According to a friend of mine who happens to be Jewish, he is not obligated to keep kosher during times of war or other emergencies. I imagine there are exceptions for other faiths as well. --Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
