No, it's allowed for all. A 1993 decision by a San Diego court mandated that students here are allowed to have religious observances during lunch/recess times.

And, of course, schools all over the US are dismissed on the Sabbath so Christians can worship.

did you watch the video bill? The claim is that the prayer time is on the school schedule, and is led by a school employee. That's the claim. I don't know the truth. None of us here do. (we weren't there)

Yep, but I don't place too much faith in Bill O'Reilly.

A substitute teacher claimed that there was "Muslim indoctrination" going on at a local school and that a teacher's aide was leading prayers. The San Diego school district investigated (this was back in 2007) and found that neither was happening.

well, I was listening to his guest, who recounted the results of his interview with the substitute teacher, not BillO.

Like I said, it was the claim. I think that if it were true, it would be a bad thing. I responded the way I did because from your reply, it looked like a kneejerk quoting of "well everyone can pray in school on their own time" as it didn't look remotely related to the video.

Muslim should not be treated any different then the rest of the US population. That means they have the same constitutional rights as every one else, they should have no more and no less rights then any other citizen.

Regardless of if this story is true or not. Privet Muslim school do what you want, public schools same rules should apply to all.

Why are they dismissed on Saturdays, then?

Schools clearly need to focus on the fundamentals of spelling and grammar.

According to the Bible, Saturday, the seventh day, is the Sabbath. Sunday is the first day of the week. If you go by Gods law, one works the first six days of the week then observe Saturday as the day of worship. Due to hatred for the Jews (the Jews equally hated Christians, so it cut both ways), Christians made Sunday their day of observance to distance themselves from Judaism, (which start their Sabbath from Friday evening to Saturday evening), in Roman. Isn't religion a beautiful thing?

When you're out of the blue and into the black."

To keep holy the Jewish Sabbath.

Interestingly, one city in the US (Decatur, GA) switched to a Tuesday-Saturday school week to try to "keep out the Jews." They did this for about 30 years until religious activists finally convinced them to honor the Jewish Sabbath - and thus they reverted to the more common Sat/Sun off.

I think I have. But I don't think the modern version of it, in the US, it has anything to do with religion.

Well, it sure is a good thing that Christians don't indoctrinate their children into that sort of hate as well.

Well, most of them don't, but these guys sure do.

Hey, I wonder if most of the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world also don't subscribe to the message of hatred and violence? Certainly food for thought ...

There is no such wording in the Constitution that reads "separation of church and state," or "division of church and state." What the Constitution does say is "there shall be no state sponsored religion."
