Nothing’s stopping prayer in schools

The perpetual Republican, conservative Christians’ lie for nearly 60 years is that prayer and Bible reading were removed from school. Any student can pray, read the Bible or talk with others about their faith in school as long as it doesn’t interfere with school. Some schools have a “meeting at the flagpole” before school. I always thought any parent that had to have the school teach their child religion was just spiritually weak, should go to church more often themselves and should stop making schools do what is their responsibility anyway. Certainly, religion in school could cause trouble from competing religions. America has more than one religion.

Some conservative Christians want to convince you to spend eternity with them but, supporting Trump’s 30,573 falsehoods and “Big Lie,” which led to the January insurrection, do cast doubt as to where that would be.
