See You at the Pole
The movement which has its own website for “See You at the Pole” 2010 is located at http://syatp.com. At the site, you can sign up to join the movement, so that they can track who and where the event is gaining the most momentum.
The event has taken place since 1990, and this year marks the 20th anniversary of the first “See You at the Pole” event. Although there are no official numbers of students who participated in this years event, the people who created it believe between 1 million and 2 million students will take part.
According to the See You at the Pole Website, “‘See You at the Pole™’ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.”
There are a lot of people who are against movements like these, since they take place at public schools. Since the event is not funded or organized by the public schools, there is nothing unconstitutional about it. According to The First Amendment, students are permitted free exercise of religion.
These public schools are not allow to help organize or lead the “See you at the Pole” event. Teachers, and administrators of schools are not permitted to take part in the event. It should be interesting to see if any public schools broke these rules set forth by the First Amendment.
What do you think about events like these. Should they be permitted? Should any religion be free to hold movements like these at public schools?
