Most Americans Support Allowing Students To Pray In Public School Classrooms
By Rebecca Klein
Even though the U.S. Supreme Court banned prayer in public schools over 50 years ago, most Americans do not think that it should be that way. A new poll out from Gallup shows that 61 percent of Americans are in favor of "allowing daily prayer to be spoken in the classroom." Although this number has declined from previous years -- in 2001, 66 percent of Americans said they favored prayer in the classroom -- it still signifies that most Americans disagree with the Supreme Court's previous rulings on the issue.
