Ok. It's just that I heard of some cases, for example, like a girl who wanted to sing Amazing Grace in a schol talent contest and was prohibited.

So, I thought that this school prayer issue was different than I thought.

 

Well, that's a religious song.

I would have agreed with not letting someone sing that song.

Why? You could do whatever you wanted on it. Dance, sing, act. Why can't she sing the song she wanted? If she chose it, it's because it means something for her.

 

Doesn't the U.S. Constitution say that the State shouldn't advance or hinder religions? If it is her personal choice, and it wasn't a religious oriented event (she was the only one who chose to sing a religious song), why is that wrong?

 

Wouldn't you be taking her freedom of choice?
