I think principal Lay should be allowed to have prayer in the school... Outside of school hours. If he wants to start a club for students and facility who want to participate in Christian activities, they should be allowed to do that and promote it like any other school club. They should not be allowed to have prayer, or any other religious activity, in public schools during school hours because some people are not Christian. They may be Muslim, Hindu, or even Atheist or Agnostic, and our first amendment protects their right to freedom of or from religion.
The pros of teaching Christianity in schools are:
Christian students, parents, and faculty are happy
No one can say our country is failing because of the lack of god in schools
It brings people together (assuming they are all Christian)
The cons are:
Some students have a different religion or no religion at all
Separation of church and state / freedom of/from religion
Religion is a parents job, not the schools
