Next question: Balance free speech and religious freedom in schools?
Fisher: Stop feds and states have too much power in schools. Let districts run their schools. Return control to the people.
Joe Exotic: People in those schools should have the say. Notes difference in local standards in rural, city schools and let people at those schools decide.
Barnett: Free speech is just that. If someone wants to pray, they should be free to do that. But also shouldn't be forced to if you don't want to. Take government out of schools.
Jones: Leave it to local school boards.
Powell: Free expression of students needs to be protected, but staff also needs to know not to indoctrinate students that parents wouldn't want.
Edmondson: Students have a right to pray: at flagpole and before and after school. What's prohibited is teacher, principal or school board telling them what to pray. As long as there's algebra, there'll be prayer in schools.
Lawhorn: Rights are inherent and shouldn't be infringed upon. First 2 amendments to Constitution are fundamental. They are sacrosanct and can not be infringed by anybody.
Stephens: Students should be able to practice their religion. Students spend more time with teachers, support staff, principals a lot of time more than than their family. Staff should be aware of that, too.
