HS allows Muslims time for prayer for good grades

A high school near Washington DC has taken a rare step of accommodating Muslim prayer during class hours. Parkdale High School now allows a handful of its students to be excused to pray. The decision has made some Christian staffers "unhappy".

#Prince George County High School Principal Cheryl J. Logan said the initiative is in response to the “needs of the growing Muslim community,” the Washington Post reported. To be able to leave class each day all you need is a parental permission and high grades, Logan said.

Currently, about 10 Muslim students have earned the right to pray, and are reportedly allowed eight minutes each day for a joint prayer on campus. Another high school student is working hard to raise his grades to join the group, all of whom belong to Muslim Students' Association, Logan said.

But you can't make reference to God in school...
We are slowly becoming a Muslim nation..

She (Logan) is going to get ##### slapped back pretty hard. She can not, according to PGCPS policy, condition the permission for Moslem prayer time on grades. Moslem students in PGCPS are to be permitted to engage in prayer as prescribed by their religion at a time of their choosing. If possible an area is to be set aside for them that reflects the culture and rich history of Islam.

These guidelines apply to employees, also. Non-chargeable leave time is to be granted for attendance at outside prayers, also.

I've already gone through this a few years ago.

File a lawsuit then. Those are the guidelines/requirements. As I mentioned, I've already been through this.

Does she allow students of other faiths to pray as well?

I would just rather send a suicide bomber in to take them out.

And do atheists get a break also?
