Andrew Straw on Education

Students can pray in school, but not imposed by teachers

A: Only in a manner consistent with the Constitution and the First Amendment. All faiths are welcome in the˙USA.

Q: Is requiring teacher-led prayer in public schools consistent with the Constitution? Or student-led prayers?

A: As long as there are tests in school, there will be prayers. Students have the right to pray. Teachers and administrators should not impose any religious requirement on students unless it is a private school.

Supports vouchers and more school choices

A: Support. Especially given the school shooting disaster in Florida, parents should have more school choices.
