Things are changing here in America.
On July 2, 2007 a San Diego public school became part of a national debate over religion in schools when a substitute teacher publicly condemned an Arabic language program that gives Muslim students time for prayer during school hours.
Carver Elementary in Oak Park added Arabic to its curriculum in September when it suddenly absorbed more than 100 students from a defunct charter school that had served mostly Somali Muslims.
Christian students have been banned from praying in school for a couple of decades now.
