The fallacy of praying in schools

Abstract
Even though much people think that it is good to attach religion and education, others think, this is not so good and might cause conflict between students and parents, since it is said that a limit should be respected between these, education and religion. It is true that school prayer may permit an opportunity for religious students to learn moreabout religious beliefs during the school day. In the past, some schools were bound to religion and this lead to certain disputes between the civilians and the government. Also it is said that religion is taught in the church and education is for school, it sound a little extreme but it is true, boundaries should exist. School prayer might lead to intolerance between students and those students whoare not religious or abstain from practicing any kind of worship, if prayer was to be permitted these would be expelled or in trouble for it.

Introduction
Obviously there have been many issues caused by religion because not everyone worships the same god, so it would be difficult to try to implement this thing for schools. If it were the case, in which schools had a space to worship God,there could be one in the same way for people of other religions?
If it was accepted, this proposition all students would have their space to worship their gods, if only a minority of any religion not well known or that there was not a significant amount of people, they would be given a space also them? Probably yes but it would be less time to do it because school officials might think that becausethere are fewer people they would not need as much time as the others that are more.

It is true that school prayer may allow religious students an opportunity to observe their religious beliefs during the school day. How could this benefit the society? It could be beneficial because students would tend to have much more sense of morality. There is evidence that from a while now, there has beena huge increase of shootings in schools, pregnancy in young girls, etc. Some people don’t think this is mere coincidence and think that it would be good to permit again that students practice their religion during school hours. It is also a benefit for culture and some history. For example, many countries have been fighting for centuries over religious and territorial issues because everyonewants their religion to be respected. Also if we think what happened in the holocaust with this genocide, it was trying to extinguish a really big community of Jews. In conclusion, yes, prayer in schools might allow students to create a stronger bond between religion and them during the school day.
In the past, some schools were attached to religion and this led to certain conflicts or disputesbetween the government and the people. In first instance, it is not approved that school and prayer go together because in the past there were some problems due to this. For example, science and religion have always been fighting over the facts that the bible can’t explain the universe why it is one way and not the other and so on. Also many people were silenced because it was not the fact that theywere not religious but that they were intelligent enough to make discoveries and explanations to so many things. Another point is that prayer in schools is allowed, not officially, but it is to all individuals who want to practice their worship. There is no law that says that you cannot practice you religious beliefs as long as they're not hurting or bothering anyone around you. Everyone is free todo whatever they want to do according to the norms in school, it does not matter what your religion is. But yes, the reality is that there exists a really big issue between the government and the civilians because of this attachment that existed before.
It is also said that the religion is taught in the church and the education is in the school, it may seem quite “racist” but it is true,...
