Not allowing them to leave to pray would be keeping them from practicing their religion.

Prayer in schools? Double standards?
One rule for one, another rule for others!

You are such a moron. ANY child can pray in school. The school can not lead the prayer. Read the case law and quit with all the faux outrage.

I'd have no problem with allowing the same accommodation for any religion. Just so it's not led or encouraged by any govt employee. In my school we had a 10 min break in the am and again in the pm. You were free to do anything legal during the break, including praying.
A 10 min break for all students might be the best solution here.

I think that the students should have the right to pray if they wish. On their own time.How ever teachers and staff should NOT be allowed to lead prayers in class,or any other school required events.

Does it say anywhere in the article that students of other faiths won't be given the same consideration?
Of course not.
As usual...this is just more overblown 007 bullshit.
What kind of country have we become?
One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”
and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

There should be no policy that facilitates the practice of Islam in schools. They are free to practice their barbaric religion, but they should keep it to themselves.
"We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." -O'Brien, Nineteen Eighty-Four

Asked if Logan would have to accommodate any student who asked for class time off to pray, he said that any school district “would be wise to treat everyone the same way.”

Letting some students out of class during the school day while the rest of the kids stay in class is favoring ONE religion .....
Some states have passed laws that allow schools to “simply treat everyone the same way and not give exemptions or special accommodations for religious reasons.” Asked if Logan would have to accommodate any student who asked for class time off to pray, he said that any school district “would be wise to treat everyone the same way.” Arguing that Islam requires daily prayer as a reason to accommodate Muslims and not other students of other religions is ill advised, he said.
“And that’s one of the problems with accommodation, of course,” he said. “Once you start down that road then you really are in a bind.”
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
