Question #369:
What is the rule with respect to performing prayer on land that used to be an endowment in the past and the government has taken it over and built a school on it?

If there is a considerable probability that the said making use of the land by the government has been due to a shar‘ī justification, there will be no problem in performing prayers on it.
