You just know the Godless dems will go judge shopping for a Godless Liberal judge to put a hold on this EO.

Great. Now a crap load of Somalis will demand prayer rugs and loudspeakers to blast that annoying chat! Here’s a thought. Have Trump make teachers teach relevant things not based on theory, like math, reading and history as it really was.

[[Furthermore, public schools risk funding if they are found to have violated the religious freedom of students.]]

I think they meant to say they risk LOSING funding- This is great news- but you watch ,the left will scream that this is blackmail, and scream about the President threatening and busing his power to bully school officials- and amounts to ‘endorsing one religion over others’ somehow- But Trump I believe has rulings by the Supreme court to back him up on this- Noone can be denied their right to express their religious preferences in public- not even public or government employees- that is religious discrimination if they are prevented from doing so-

Our constitutions was set up to protect people from a government FORCING people to convert to a government run religion under penalty of the law if they refuse- what it was NOT set up for was to prevent government or anyone from expressing their religious beliefs in public or government settings-

The left have bastardized the constitution and it’s amendments to the point where they now claim it means that any mention of religion by a government employee or school official or whatever amounts to the government ‘endorsing’ one religion over all others- But heck0 even IF that were the case, which it is not- it still wouldn’t be unlawful to do- AS LONG AS the government doesn’t force people to convert under penalty of the law if they don’t- like we had to back in england in the day- that is what we escaped from- forced religion- and that is what the intent of the constitution was for- to prevent that forced religion

A government employee praying in a public place is NOT forcing anyone to convert under penalty of the law if they refuse- and the left knows this- but again, they have bastardized the const to such a degree that they now claim government if not allowed to ‘exclude anyone’ by expressing the beliefs of just one religion- they claim it ‘leaves people feeling isolated’

Well boo freakin hoo- Our constitution wasn’t set up to protect delicate feelings, it was set up to uphold inalienable rights- What about straight people when they are forced to sit through a gay lesson that goes against the beliefs of the straight person- or gay play in their school- doesn’t that qualify as excluding? I guess according to the left- some exclusions carry more weight than others?

Good.

Baronck* Obama had the Department of Education armed with MP5 submachineguns (and they may still be). What for? Student loan slackers? No, many of us suspect that they were setting up for a showdown with some Christian group like "See You at the Pole/Flag". A showdown over prayer, of course.

Trump wasn't supposed to happen. Herself was supposed to clamp down on prayer in school.

Thank God for President Trump.

*Yes, I know how to spell it. Just making fun of the media.

I CHEERED when I heard this yesterday!

Cool. Read the koran out loud and let people hear what is actually in that vile, evil tome. Most people actually think it’s a holy book on par with the Bible.

""The new guidance makes clear that students can read religious texts or pray during recess and other non-instructional periods, organize prayer groups, and express their religious beliefs in their assignments.""

Excellent! The "assignments" issue is the most egregious attack on religion that the classroom communists propagandizing the children commit...
