Your Views: Schools were safer when prayer was still allowed in classrooms
Placeholder Image
When I was a boy in my lower grades at Candler Elementary School on Candler Road, we said our blessing before leaving our classroom going to lunch. Every so often, these people would come to the school in the lunchroom, and Bible verses we learned we would be able to say and be rewarded with a book marker or sometimes a little Bible testament. When I got to higher grades at a different school, all this was gone and replaced with a word of silence at ballgames.
