Would you support voluntary, administrative led school prayer (which is currently illegal) if the prayers were from the Jewish tradition and chanted in Hebrew?
I believe in the separation of State and Church so no. Educating children about various Religions and Philosophies by all means, knowledge is good and it opens new horizons but I do not believe in religion as part and parcel of the fabric of schools. Any publicly maintained building be it a Local Council Office, library, school etc... should remain neutral.
Just wondering if some of those who defend illegal organized school prayer would do so if it's not their own religious tradition... Is it about the "right" to pray or their own religious hegemony?

What's wrong with a moment of reflection? You can do whatever you wish with it, pray, zone out, do mental math problems, plan your day, etc.? Why does your analogy have to be administrative led Jewish prayers in a language very few school children speak? Were you trying to skew your answers?
