Prayer should have reasonable accommodations. If a person doesn't want to dissect an animal then they shouldn't have to. I believe there are vegetarians and vegans that would be just as horrified over dissecting a pig. Of course, in some cases frogs are available, that is what we had in my science class, that settles the issue for Muslims I believe, but not vegetarian/vegans.

I still think that all the religious stuff is nonsense. But, it's also nonsense to say that having a quiet space for prayer is establishment of religion especially if it is a space that can be used by pagans, Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, or even atheists for quiet meditation.
