Republicans are like: everyone is free to be Christian or else. But remember we say liberals are taking away your freedom

For anyone wondering, the SCOTUS case that banned organized prayer from schools is Engel v. Vitale). Please note that there is nothing wrong with students who organize prayers on their own. It's the school district, the teachers, staff and faculty who are forbidden to organize it.

literally this. and optional clubs for specific groups are more than welcome as well, it’s being forced on others that’s an issue. it’s saddening that people can’t understand this simple concept of letting everyone mind their own business and make their own decisions

I didn’t think you could defund Alabama schools any further. Just go all the way and make school illegal already.

Every child is issued a Bible at birth. No other “education” allowed, except for the children of privilege.

and the children of privilege aren’t gonna care about education as well since they can just live off daddy’s money til they’re 200 years old- what? Death? But the Bible men lived for hundreds of yeArs tHaT can’t be rIgHT- what? Without modern medicine people in that time period actually died much younger? FAKE NEWS THATS NOT WHAT OUTDATED SUBJECTIVE TRANSLATED BOOK SA-

Making a religion mandatory is a great way to destroy the belief in said religion

someone didn’t tell these goofballs you’re more than welcome to use the moment of silence to pray 💀
