I'm only 16. However, I do know that the constitution requires America to have a separation between church and state. At a private school like Hendricken, where Catholicism is the norm, and the teachers are monks and nuns, this prayer would go over without issue as it should. A public school is a very different story, and it must adhere to the constitution. Simply put, as a state-run building, it is unconstitutional for Cranston West to allow such a religiously charged thing to remain on its grounds. This is not about, as I have read in a few other comments, favoritism towards the Atheist faith over other faiths. This is about the existing favoritism towards Christianity that is demonstrated by the banner. We can be fair and put up a banner for every major faith at Cranston West, or we can follow the constitution and remove the banner that is already there.
