President Donald Trump told attendees of the Religious Liberty Commission meeting on Monday that new guidance would be released regarding prayer in public schools.

"I'm pleased to announce this morning that the Department of Education (DOE) will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools," Trump said at the meeting at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

So Muslim students will be allowed their prayer times each day too? C'mon you folks on the right, who wants to tackle that one?
 
new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools
Great, now students have the right to pray to Allah, Yahweh, Brahma or Lucifer.

I am SURE that Trumpers will be pleased that prayer will now be protected if anyone chooses to pray to one of THOSE Gods.
 
They already have the right to pray to Allah, Yahweh, Brahma or Lucifer.

Just csnt do it during instructional time.
Can't be led by school employees.
Can't be mandatory.
Can't infringe on others rights.

I may be missing a couple of points.

I'll wait to see the guidance before passing judgment.

you have a point...it is unlikely this or any US government will lift a finger to help them! Maybe Jesus, Allah, Genish, Zeus, and other deities will
 
The least Christian President we've ever had knows exactly how to play the Christians so he can continue his grifting.

He has to laugh at how easy it is.

The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly state that prayer is forbidden in public schools; rather, the prohibition against school-sponsored or school-endorsed prayer comes from the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. This clause prevents the government from establishing a religion, which the Supreme Court has interpreted to mean that public schools cannot promote or compel religious activities, including official prayers. However, the First Amendment's Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses protect a student's right to private, voluntary, and non-disruptive prayer and religious expression.

The Establishment Clause is part of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, stating "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". It prohibits the government from establishing or favoring any religion, creating a separation of church and state, and ensuring that the government does not endorse one faith over others or over non-religion. This principle applies to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment and is often interpreted using the Lemon test, which requires government actions to have a secular purpose, a predominantly secular effect, and avoid excessive entanglement with religion.

I wonder what these guidelines will be.
Lip service to please the felon but doing everything to make the dear Lord shake His head is a strong possibility.
As many of us know, there's a difference between pretending to be a christian and doing the Lord's work.

Yes, it does.

The 1st Amendment does not allow the states to have their own religion. Forcing prayer in schools is the state choosing a religion.

Read the constitution.
 
The so called separation of church and state is to protect the freedom of religion.

So explain the Congress actions regarding prayer.

The United States Congress begins both its House of Representatives and Senate sessions with an opening prayer or invocation led by the Chamber's official chaplain or a guest chaplain. This long-standing tradition began with the First Continental Congress in 1774 and was established by the first U.S. Congress in 1789, with chaplains being appointed to lead daily opening prayers.
  • The House has followed this tradition since 1789, and its requirement to open each day with a prayer was upheld by a U.S. Court of Appeals in 2019.
    The Senate also begins its daily sessions with a prayer from its elected chaplain.
    • Origin:
      The tradition of legislative prayer dates back to the First Continental Congress in 1774, with Benjamin Franklin recommending prayers for the assembly.

    • Purpose:
      Legislative prayer is intended to lend gravity to public business, remind lawmakers of shared aspirations, and provide a call to a higher purpose, according to the House of Representatives.

    • Chaplains:
      The House and Senate elect their chaplains, who serve as spiritual leaders, counselors, and coordinators of religious activities for members and staff. They also coordinate guest chaplains, who represent a variety of faiths.
