free time isn’t so free, is it?
Exactly where?
I’m glad to see lawsuits pop up over these things. All it takes is one complainer to make the schools infringe on the rights of everyone else over the fear of lawsuits. It’s about time to fight fire with fire. Good for them.
Public school kids: Don’t you know that you can only talk about sex or 4 letter words?
The Constitution means whatever the Democrat-du-jour wants it to mean. I hope this country is awakening to the freedoms we have lost with the Democraps in charge. ENOUGH!!
I dare them to go to this radio station at a state school and complain about the gospel music in the morning

Tell the overpaid administrator:
“NO, my praying DOES NOT violate “Separation of Church and State”!
The concept does not exist in the Constitution.
BUT, the FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE of the 1st Amendment DOES protect my right to pray!
Okay, kids. Time to practice some civil disobedience.
Sounds like there should have been sin-ins and pray ins every day. Let then start the mass suspensions and lose the funding that goes with attendance; qne the proliferating lawsuits that would follow.
I’d tell them to go ahead and put me in detention because I won’t quit.
The only religion allowed in public schools is Marxism. Sounds like some teachers are mad about the election.
Pray America is waking
If I had a child going to school there, I will pull him/her out immediately and encourage everyone else to do the same.
It seems that ignorance is a job-requirement for employment in American public schools. There is black-letter law establishing the right of private prayer in public schools, provided it does not disrupt classes, and of students to organize religious clubs.
Presumably once the district superintendent has a brief laying out the relevant precedents, whichever nitwit did this, the assistant principal or someone up the chain of command from him, will get slapped down and an actual lawsuit will be unnecessary.
I'd sue the hell out of the school.
In this case, the school represents the state and is violating the very separation it invokes.
James Lucas needs to be tarred and feathered.
But only after he is beaten black and blue with baseball bats.
Where did this creep come from?
I bet that the school needs that room for a muzzie prayer room.
One more slapdown is on the way for the Christ-haters. This is an object lesson: The Left never stops. They will try again and again to destroy Christianity in America because they are of their father Satan.
Do you think the God of the Universe. . You know the one that created the universe with His breath feels intimidated by these highly educated public school officials?
When I was in public high school in the 1970’s, my school had Youth for Christ. It was an officially-recognized student organization. They met at the school in the evening. They even had their picture in the yearbook. If a school won’t allow students to gather informally at school on the free time, I guess there wouldn’t be much hope (in some school districts, at least) for YFC.
So my question would be: what has changed in the realm of constitution law in the past forty years that puts the students at this school in violation of “the separation of church and state”? Or do these cases come from the whim of some pea-brained school administrator?
When you consider all the bad stuff that can go on in a school these days, it’s really amazing that school administrators wind up coming down on the praying kids.
