If that’s her religion then that’s her religion. It isn’t yours apparently, but the Founders didn’t want to run around policing acceptable religion. They figured we could be adults about it and allow differences that really don’t hurt anyone.

So, if she wants to pray out loud for the kids at the school, then leave her alone. What is it hurting in terms of real injury? All those kids and adults with other views is being subjected to is a study in comparative religions. That’ll probably be good for them in the long run to be able to know some things about other religions.

Yes that is her religion...but atop the slippery slope we climb here. Using the same logic how could a governing entity (let’s say a small town) prevent the “Muslim Call to Prayer” being broadcast via loudspeakers five times a day? What’s to stop Muslims bring their prayer rugs to the outside of the school bldg as well? Or a EcoCult praying to a beloved tree (or school property) daily?

I’m not saying her religion is “unacceptable” in her beliefs or her right to believe to worship as she sees fit; I see the theatrics of her daily ritual as no different than the prayer rugs unrolling in airports and offices 5 times a day.

It’s not to who she is praying to or what she is praying for, it’s her very public demand that HER prayer be accommodated to by everyone else. Kinda like the loudspeaker “call to prayer” DEMANDS IMO.
