How do you pray in public? Do you emulate the Pharisee or the Publican?
I don't think you how the government works. The Congress makes laws, supposedly in accordance to the Constitution. Those laws govern The People. The People follows those laws or develop Imperial Entanglements. A PUBLIC school is a government entity, so, the Bill of Rights does indeed apply to the operation of schools.
The Federal Government cannot pass laws which affect YOUR practice of religion.
Non-government entities do not have to follow the Bill of Rights. Your employer has the right to prohibit political or religious conversations on their property or on their time clock.
Prohibiting prayer anywhere at any time is unconstitutional.
Took my kids to Disney 20 years ago or so. Was leaving Captain Eo and a group of Muslims found what they thought was a quiet, out of the way spot to pray.
It was actually the exit to the attraction.
100s of people leaving down a narrow ally only to see dozens of asses in the air, facing us.
They nearly got trampled.
They didn't prohibit prayer. I prayed everyday in school.
I will once again thank God that the Supreme Court ended that farce.
You mean when the founders wrote the Constitution to mean that Congress will make no law respecting establishment of the Methodist denomination, for example, or prohibiting the free exercise of the Presbyterian?
“What would each of you do if your children were required to face Mecca and pray while in school?”
This won’t happen because we’re a Christian nation. Wars will be fought and the usurpers defeated long before it ever gets to such an absurdity.
As for the comments in your second to last paragraph, they’re not directed to me. Rather, you’re speaking to some imaginary version of what you think a Christian is. These silly and sophomoric stereotypes come directly from Hollywood productions, and other sources feigning reliability, for the most part written and produced by similarly low IQ thinking.
Meanwhile, it’s good to note that instructing Bible verses in school is not equivalent to teaching the Koran. The Bible is objectively true, while all other religions are false. As I like to say, believe what you want but make sure you believe the truth. Withholding the teaching of the truth represents the only denial of choice in this matter.
Preventing people from being trampled is a reasonable function of government.
“I will once again thank God that the Supreme Court ended that farce.”
It was an erroneous ruling, just like Roe. Let’s see what happens.
Not “shocking” at all.
