Should teachers be allowed to lead students in Christian prayer? What poll found A majority of Americans said they support letting public school teachers guide students in Christian prayer during class, according to a new poll. Fifty-two percent of U.S. adults said teachers should be allowed to “lead their classes in prayers that refer to Jesus,” while 46% said they oppose letting teachers do so, according to Pew Research Center poll analysis shared June 23. The survey of 36,908 U.S. adults was taken between July 17, 2023 and March 4, 2024 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 0.8 percentage points. The results come as the United States Supreme Court continues to hear cases questioning the role of religion in education. Recently, a federal appeals court struck down a Louisiana law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom, and some groups are suing to block similar laws in Arkansas and Texas. A larger share of Americans, 57%, said teachers should be allowed to lead prayers that don’t reference a specific religion but do reference God, the poll found.
