?What about the fundamental beliefs of those who would like to pray at?”
I must say that I approve more and more of our Supreme Court’s decision as I certainly don’t want our children participating in Muslim prayers at school.
I don't disagree with your sentiment about forced participation in a religion, but the point is the immensity of the hypocrisy. The far left only defend those fundamental beliefs that happen to be in line with their own. Regarding NYC, we're talking about a city that won't let people buy large size soft drinks... Regarding De Blasio, I respect his right to his personal fundamental beliefs, but when he is speaking publicly as the mayor of NYC, and makes statements that arguably could be interpreted as stirring the pot against his own police force, he is not speaking as a private citizen but as a representative of the people - all the people he was elected to serve.
As for the participation in Muslim prayer at school, you've probably seen this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3246986/posts
Not the same, exactly, but somehow I doubt that an equivalent gesture would be granted to a Christian or Jewish group on campus. If I'm wrong, I stand corrected.
