text: There appears to be some confusion between mandating universal participation in religious events (the Lord's Prayer, Christmas and Easter events) for all students as opposed to simply accommodating specific students' needs for their religious practices (prayer rooms).
  
  I would oppose any attempt to mandate religious participation by all students in any public school. On the other hand, I see no reason not to allow students (Muslim, Christian, Jewish, whatever) to use an unoccupied classroom as a place for prayer.
  
  I don't see what is accomplished by screaming at others or throwing a temper tantrum. Religious accommodation has no impact on the greater student body and is largely unnoticed by people who do not participate. If Christian or Jewish students request an equally reasonable religious accommodation and it does not get approved, I will happily protest with you.
  
  Up to now, I've seen no rational reason to oppose this accommodation except naked religious hatred.
