That’s fine, I’m not opposed to students gathering privately in public schools to pray during their free time. What I am against is schools forcing students to sit through prayers. Churches and private gatherings are for prayers. Public schools should not be places of government-organized worship.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then you should be equally outraged that government schools teach everything through the lens of a godless worldview. They teach ( in fact, FORCE) children to think godlessly. At best children are FORCED to compartmentalize their faith.

Government schools **establish** the godless religion of secular humanism. ALL of them do this ( the good, the bad, and the ugly!).

There is only one solution!

We must begin the process of privatizing all K-12 education.

ALL government schools in this nation are a religious First Amendment and freedom of conscience ABOMINATION!

Government schools never were, are not now, and NEVER can be religiously neutral. Why?

Answer: Because it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a religiously neutral education! It is axiomatic.

At the moment all government schools in this nation are establishing the religion of godless secular humanism. ALL government schools in this nation teach ( FORCE) children to think godlessly.
