Why Deny the Student Prayer Club?

When 5th grade student Laura at Creekside Elementary requested permission to start an interfaith prayer club, the school’s principal denied her request.

Despite having approved and promoted other clubs like the Creekside Choir, Global Reading Challenge, Green Team, Safety Patrol and Pride Club, the principal told Laura that her only option for a prayer group was to pay for space like outside groups.

Hear from Laura first-hand and learn how this fight has impacted her faith as well as her vision for the prayer club that’s being denied.
