Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Establishment Clause prohibits the government from establishing a religion. A student praying alone in a public - school cafeteria is a personal religious expression, and since the school is not asking the student to pray, it does not violate the Establishment Clause. Prayer is not completely prohibited in government places in all cases, and the fact that other students might feel pressured is not relevant here as the student is praying alone. The existence of daily prayer in some public schools is not the reason for this individual student's action being acceptable.

Answer:

the school is not asking the student to pray.
