Protecting the freedom to pray in schools? Like the first amendment already does and has done forever? These people are a bunch of morons

They want teachers, coaches, and principals to *lead* prayers which is absolutely not what “freedom to pray in schools” means 🙃

The whole moment of silence in schools is LITERALLY FOR PRAYER. There is already a designated time for prayer in school, it's just not labeled as such.

Pretty sure the book of Matthew has something to say about public prayer.
Let them pray in public, God doesnt hear it, he ignores it because he knows they only want the perception of piety.
Edit, just in case, im agnostic-atheist, so i dont qctually believe it.
Still my favorite bible verse.

Seems to me that there’s more of a need to protect the freedom to *not* pray in schools.

Best stop thinking this way ASAP; they know exactly what they’re doing and they’re doing it as quickly as possible so it’s that much harder to stop and undo.

Pretty sure it's gonna protect the school administrations freedom to include prayer in school requirements.

No one is stopping people praying to themselves.
"And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 5And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. 6*But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.* And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…" --Jesus himself. Matt 6:4-6
They are so fragile in their faith, they need to try and force prayer on students.
