According to “Bible Resources” (2012), “In the mid 1990’s, school shootings became a trend, with at least 16 such shootings resulting in over 240 killed; one of the most horrific being the Columbine incident on April 20, 1999, in which 12 students and one teacher were killed” (What the Bible Says About School Shootings).
Betty Miller says the Columbine incident was the most horrific, however, up to date, in my surmise, The Sandy Hook incident has been by far the most horrific. The evil that has taken over our schools has been able to have full access since prayer was removed.
“Every effort to restore prayer to the public schools of America is an effort to save tens of thousands of American lives” (Homeward Bound Journal, 2010). Many organizations and individuals are ready to restore prayer in the schools. Prayer is a part of U.S. history that should be restored, especially, in public schools. The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by God with certain unalienable rights….”
We are not asking for Religion, we are asking for prayer! Let’s restore prayer back in public schools.

"We, the undersigned, call on the U.S. Congress to restore prayer in public schools and public school events."
We are not asking for religion. We are asking that every morning before school begins, the pledge of allegiance is recited demonstrating the passion for our country and The Lord's Prayer is recited demonstrating the foundation that our founding fathers have established.
The Lord's Prayer we suggest: Matthew 6:9-13:
9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
This prayer should be recited.
