Without tripping off someone's political correctness meter or upsetting the applecart of their very easily offended psyche, Yes, it should.
Freedom of religion should always be practiced. Not enforced or denied to others, or used to insult them, but each person should ALWAYS have the right to their own religious beliefs, including prayer in public or in private. This is best done without proselytization or ridicule or the intentional exclusion of others.
Religion can be tricky and ugly. It needs to be handled in a smart and respectable manner. A little tact goes a long way. Show some respect, get some respect.

What about religion do you think should and should not be permitted in public schools?
Pretty much all of it. Religion may be important in history to show where civilizations got their beliefs off of, but now? It shouldn't be involved. Religion is a personal choice. You don't have to have one.
What are some examples of opening prayers for a school closing program?

What would school vouchers potentially violate if they are used at religious schools?
The issue of school vouchers is very interesting. The original purpose of the voucher was to provide money for private schools to stop integration of public schools. They were to keep white schools white in 1959. Since the publication of the book "Schools at Risk" the conservative influence on schools has compared them to a business rather than what they are. Schools are not created to make profits but to teach children. The new revamped voucher program argues parents have the "right" to choose the place of education for their children, but the use of taxpayer dollars to provide private religious education can be against the separation of church and state. The vouchers will not improve education, but rather remove funds from public schools and poor parents still won't be able to afford the private schools because the voucher given them won't cover the entire tuition. Research has shown that in schools where vouchers have taken over whole systems the schools loose ground in test results and the students do NOT improve. Private religious schools also do not have to take at risk students, special needs students, students who have other problems. Essentially they shut the doors on millions of students and put them at a disadvantage because the funds that should have gone to the public schools has gone to the private schools. If we want to improve schools we need to do several things. My PhD dissertation was on charter schools and the results of my research showed that we need to set a national agenda of what makes an educated person. Drop me a note on my message board here if you would like to know more.

Are service animals in training permitted in public schools?
There is no federal law in the U.S. that gives service animal trainers the right to access public schools with their trainees. Some, but not all, states have such rights for trainers. However, they would only apply to the public areas of a public school, such as the gymnasium during a basketball game where any member of the public is permitted to attend. In order to take a trainee into private areas of the school, where the general public are not permitted, such as classrooms while school is in session, the trainer would need to get permission from the school administrator first.
