I guess the OP suddenly is against prayer in school?

Why are you supporting this?

If they built it in a separate room - just as this Muslim prayer room, who cares?

Taxpayers would care.

Because they would watch the schools forced to build a Catholic room, a Jewish room, a Baptist room, a Mormon room, a Methodist room, an Episcopal room.

Then the American Baptists would insist on a separate room from those heritical Southern Baptists, the Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Jews separate rooms, the Mormons who still have multiple wives wont want to share a room with the "fake mormons," who only have one.

Katy bar the door when the Shia and the Sunni start invading each other's rooms.

Both the Curch of Satan AND the Satanic Temple would want rooms, and then the others would not want the room next to them.

With all this construction you want for these religious rooms in public schools, teachers will have to shout to be heard over the cacophony of power tools.

Why are you supporting this?

Likes to jump the shark.

For one belief? Not likely. As a room for all to use? Probably.

Why would all the students need a foot washing room?

 

[DonGlock26]

Nope - certainly not. Only in your imagination.

So again - do they have "religion" as a school subject in Minneapolis?

BS.

You tell me.

 

[Kruska]

Not the issue. Making tax payer funded accomodations for a specific 'religious' practice. Students are permitted to pray in private and on their own time. This would be altering daily school schedule changes for prayer time and the other ritual.

Nonsense - it's the MAIN issue pertaining to the US constitution - freedom of religion.

Off-course religion is a subject in school - and it also teaches about OTHER religions, aka that Muslims are required to pray 5 times a day. So if the USA let's in Muslims the Constitution demands freedom of religion, as such the US government is required by LAW to provide praying rooms for Muslims. You don't like that? well then change your silly Constitution - Over and Out.

Rubbish, show me in the NT, were it states that Christians must pray every day or e.g. 5 times a day. Therefore unlike Muslims Christians are not subjected to a religious law - that would necessitate a prayer in school.

What on Earth are you trying to say? Sounds like you think the Christian religion should not be in schools but Islam is OK.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why was there a case in the first place?
I’ll answer because you won’t.
The school stopped the football team from kneeling on the field and praying.

No, they stopped the coach from doing it. Students can pray anytime they want. The school fired him illegally because he was doing nothing wrong.

Why do prejudice people like YOU always try to put words into other peoples mouth?

I simply stated that it is "OBLIGATORY" for Muslims to pray 5 times a day - for Christians its not. Simple right?

 

[WEATHER53]

Are there prayer facilities for all students and the footwash is an attribute to the 15th century

Freedom of religion means taxpayers have to provide not only space for prayers but plumbing for ceremonial ablutions?

Should these Somali students be given a room for Female Genital Mutilation? Should school nurses be trained to assist to avoid infection?

 

[pknopp]

That’s fine, but why did it take Muslims to get this? Back when kids were wanting to do Bible study in school, lefty’s here were protesting, calling it a violation of separation. Now, there’s no pushback.

I can't really address your vague claims. I have always supported a students right to practice their beliefs.

I don't believe anyone said all did, so.........

Ummmmmmmmmm, but that doesn't have anything to do with the thread. Do we keep religion out of schools or don't we? Pick one. Simple, right?

COTUS doesn't go that far.

Oh, now I get what you were saying. Sorry.

Free exercise and Establishment clauses are a problem for you.

There's a fish and chicken joint just up the road. It's run by Muslims. They shut down during the day for midday prayer around noon or so. Right in the middle of the lunch rush. Guess what, they don't do that anymore. Capitalism wins.
