text: I’m a former teacher and an atheist but I have no problem if students in a public school, on their own time decided to pray in any respectful way they choose.  While I personally hope they come to the conclusion that there is no supreme being, they need to come to this on their own.  Neither the school system, haters, my fellow atheists nor anyone else has the right to tell a student on their own time what they should do.  Leave these Muslims (and Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists or anyone else) alone.
  
  Some Muslims are terrorists.  So are some Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists or even atheists.  No group is innocent.  And no group is all evil.  Again, leave these kids alone.
