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.

The problem is that there are Somalis here who shouldn't be, not that our First Amendment rights.

Complaining about what Muzzies will or may now demand is the same type of argument the anti-2nd Amendment people make, "Great, now some redneck will have a fit of road rage and murder another driver for stopping on a caution light rather than flooring it and going on through".

Limit 2nd Amendment rights and save drivers, same line of reasoning.

Interesting perspective you offered.

I guess this is another example of the road to hell being paved by good intentions.

Incredible how we also provide prayer rugs and Korans to captured terrorists detained at Gitmo—while religious persecution keeps increasing around the globe.

They already do, and they get them-

[[Here’s a thought. Have Trump make teachers teach]]

The teachers aren’t teaching prayer- they are simply praying themselves if they feel led to do so-

[[history as it really was.]]

History like when Christ was here on earth performing miracles being witnessed by the religious and irreligious alike and recorded in books and scrolls? His life wasn’t a ‘theory’ it was recorded Historical fact-

Should not be. No equipment is needed to pray. bible has acounts of people praying in jail and thre jail cells likely not as nice/equiped as current day ones.

so, no items need to be provided to any person wanting to pray in school.

my concern is muslims or other belief kids or teachers claiming to need to pray at specific times - interupting or leaving class in that sense.

Yes, which is why these new guidlines fail to articulate what is allowed vs. limits. Government used to generally affirm faith in and dependence upon and gratitude to a Creator (singular), and if anything specific, sometimes invoking the Christ of the Bible, for both reflected the general beliefs of the Founders overall and the people.

Which the government is to do, without requiring faith or instituting a particular state religion, nor making agnosticism or atheism the only acceptable position. Which is what the gov. does by not offering prayer, effectually conveying that it has no need of help from a creator or owes any gratitude to the same.

The gov. will always reflect belief, and which atheism is, and any expression or lack will offend someone, and thus a basic one should generally be, that of the general belief of the Founders and the states and people that ratified the Constitution. Which is why we (yet) have laws against polygamy, while secularism means most anything can be justified as Constitutional.
