Christian prayer is banned from American public schools. Islamic prayers, on the other hand, have been deemed worthy of accommodation. (Another concession to the Islamic Supremacists.)
A New York high school has transformed two vacant rooms into areas where Muslim students can pray during Ramadan.
A spokesperson for Shenendehowa High School said the decision to offer Muslim prayer rooms on public property is part of their effort to be culturally proficient.
“The school is trying to do a lot more to be culturally inclusive and so is the district,” school spokesperson Kelly DeFeciani told the Saratogian newspaper.
So, the district is claiming this is a cultural accommodation, not a religious one, and that makes it OK.
You buying that, ACLU? Oh, you are? OK, how about you, Americans United for Separation of Church and State? You’re OK with it too. Well, surely the Freedom from Religion Foundation must have an objection? No, guess not.
So, all of this “separation of church and state” stuff you’ve been spouting is complete horsecrap and it was really about bullying Christians this whole time.
Just as I thought.
Simple solution: A group of Christians should ask for a room to be set aside for them before and after school for prayer and see what they say.
If they say no, SUE THEIR PANTS OFF!!
Liberals love the fascist aspects of Islam. Leftist gays will literally virtue signal themselves to death.
Christian prayer has not been “banned” from public school. Anyone can pray anytime.
What is not allowed is forming a prayer group that uses school facilities. And that should include those of any faith
Meaning silently letting the voice in your head do the prayer and you do not make any overt signs that praying is going on such as saying grace in the cafeteria.
Furthermore, a teacher may not have a Bible in open view or look between the covers if students might see that subversive activity. [If the teacher is teaching from the Bible as part of cultural literature, strict system-wide guidelines must be followed. A science teacher may enthusiastically bash the Bible.]
Also, no religion associated jewelry. Before school and after school religion groups are OK so long as they don’t make themselves obvious like openly forming a prayer circle where other students might see or hear them.
At the Winter Holidays concert, no music associated with religion. The orchestra may not play Silent Night because the words are too famous and therefore it prompts the worship of a specific religion.
“Christian prayer is banned from American public schools”
What is wrong with you? Do you offer such casual lies in your daily life or do you only do it online?
Students have the right to engage in voluntary individual prayer that is not coercive and does not substantially disrupt the school’s educational mission and activities.
In many schools student led Christian prayer groups use school facilities. Any 2 second Google search will tell you that. Giving a room to Muslims so they can pray away from the rest of the school is no different
“Individual, silent, personal prayer never has and never could be outlawed in public schools. The courts have declared government-fostered prayers unconstitutional – those led, required, sanctioned, scheduled or suggested by officials.”
https://ffrf.org/outreach/item/14029-prayer-in-public-school
“In a continuing effort to be more culturally inclusive and in recognition of its growing diversity, Shenendehowa High School’s East building and West building will each have a room available during Ramadan so high school students can fulfill their religious obligations without leaving the school.”
The more the left bullies us Christians, the more we wish them best of luck with their new buddies in islamist fundalism … before they all start cannibalizing.
Just as in the good old days of bolsheviks vs trotskyists vs nazis vs etc.
Nothing new under the sun.
And once again, lil-letter-Mikey is siding with the same ones who want to give him a free flying lesson off the nearest minaret. SMH…

Postmodernist France, June 7, 2017:
France created a new counter-terrorism task force on Wednesday, bringing together all the intelligence services, to coordinate the response to attacks, a day after an Algerian student assaulted police officers outside Notre Dame cathedral.
Newly elected President Emmanuel Macron, portrayed by rivals as weak on security during the presidential campaign, ordered the task force to be set up last month to steer France’s multiple security agencies from his Elysee Palace offices.
The performance of France’s intelligence services has come under close scrutiny since the November 2015 attacks on Paris, when militant gunmen and suicide bombers struck entertainment venues across the capital, killing 130 people.
In total, more than 230 people have been killed in a wave of attacks in France either claimed by or inspired by Islamic State over the past two-and-a-half years.
In Tuesday’s attack, a 40-year-old Algerian student armed with a hammer and kitchen knives shouted “this is for Syria” as he struck at and wounded a policeman, before being shot by police officers.
A source close to the investigation named the assailant as Algerian-born Farid Ikken, a PhD student of communications registered since 2014 at a university in the eastern city of Metz.
The source said that a video in which Ikken pledged allegiance to Islamic State had been found in his flat in Cergy-Pontoise, northwest of Paris, during a police raid on Tuesday evening, after the attack.
Government spokesman Christophe Castaner said the assailant had not previously “shown any signs of radicalization”.

Well, they run a mosqueteria in at least one Toronto government school. Boys in the front, clean girls in the middle, and unclean (menstruating) girls in the back.
I have no idea how the imam verifies the cleanliness of the girls in the middle.

Some nursery school teacher was slashed and kicked by some girls in Londonistan earlier today. The girls were carrying on about Allah. Authorities have no idea why this happened. It’s like the weather- just happens.

@13 and @14 :
Someone should do them a favor point out to our islamophile leftist cultural enrichment do-gooders how far they are behind already with their Twitter and Facebook virtue signalling #NotAllMuslims hashtag spree.
Talk about a bit to catch up with, or what?

Another case of littlelettermikey, the fascist peeing on your head and telling you it is raining.
Students may arrange for a room after schools hours for the use of a Jewish or Christian or Satanist club meeting, so long as it is NOT sponsored by the school or involves paid school personnel.
Students who must eat special diets under special circumstances according to their religion must provide the meals from outside. The public can not be made to pay for a Kosher or Halaal kitchen. Prison is a different story.
Students who keep a several times a day time- schedule with a rug and bobbing toward the closest route to Mecca can arrange for a spot in a public facility to carry out the ritual. When it comes to missing classes, tests, etc. it is purely an accommodation which is given or denied.
BTW, the Supreme Court case that affirmed the right of Christians to meet in public school facilities was a 6 to 3 decision with the three most left-wing judges voting no; Souter, Stevens, Ginsburg. Which means if there had been two more left-wing justices on the court (say, Sotomayor and Kagan), Christians would have lost the right to peacefully assemble in public schools.
And the ACLU filed an Amicus Brief against the Christian plaintiffs. Their argument being that children might become Christian as a result of being exposed to Christianity, and this was bad.
So, shove it.
