One nonprofit is now demanding the practice immediately cease in an effort to "protect the constitutional rights of students and parents."
The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), a national advocacy group for atheists, agnostics and non-theists, works to protect the Establishment Clause.
Despite
local law allowing prayer
at other council meetings, FFRF argues that GUSD is subjecting itself to both "unnecessary liability" and "potential financial strain" by adopting the practice in an educational setting.

I wonder how many people know there is an establishment clause and those that do know what it means.
Is a board meeting an “educational setting”? If people want to pray before the start of some or another event, let them. That’s the other half of the Freedom of Religion people seem to forget. Nobody is forced to pray with them. Not all the board members have to pray either. And if it’s really that big a deal to the constituents they can vote the praying board members out.
All this time and energy wasted on nonsense. If you don’t believe in God why does it harm you to let other people practice their “superstitutions”?
If only I had been in an announcer at an NFL game when the take a knee thing was going on.
I would have said and ,”Now ladies and gentlemen please rise for the National Anthem” and then to those that took a knee I would fade out the drum roll start saying the Lord’s Prayer and see how many of them got back up real quick...

The simple answer is they do believe in God. Satan believes in God. He simply opposes God in every way and manner possible. These fools follow Satan. In the end of their natural life they will discover their eternal life will be spent in hell. They are following the subtle lead of Satan. Translation: Not good for them.
Screw these leftists. Pray in public and out loud, folks.
Search and destroy...

California school district pressured to end Christian prayer at board meetings
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I know how they can end the prayer at board meetings:
“In the name of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.”
they are getting in practice for when they arrive in hell. Prayer is prohibited there.
This will, of course, enforce the philosophy of the atheists. That is not a position upheld by the Constitution.
The First Amendment only limits one group of people; The Congress.
Read it:
Amendment I (1791)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Individuals, states, and local governments are not limited. Congress is and Congressmen are not limited from having religious objects or expressing religious opinions. Cities, state governments, and Federal lands and buildings are not prohibited from having the Ten Commandments or a cross or a menorah or a crescent moon and star or manger scene. Prohibiting these are a misinterpretation of the First Amendment.
State and local governments could even specify or ban religions if their constituting documents don’t prohibit it.
Too many people have never read the Constitution and do not know that most of what the Federal Government is doing is not Constitutional.
the FFRF should be sued into oblivion - realistically, how many cases can they defend without going bankrupt?
It’s heathen country Jim stay away.
