A prayer room and foot-washing stations are being added to MN High School

[pknopp]

Why would all the students need a foot washing room?

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

 

[Independent thinker]

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?

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?

 

[Delldude]

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.

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.

Do you believe the government is obligated to accommodate your 5 times of prayer?

 

[Kruska]

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?

What ever religious practices Jews and Muslims have - is up to their Faith - not you or me or anyone practicing other religions.

You seem to be obsessed with female genital mutilation - how about male genital mutilation? aka circumcision? I heard that 99% of Americans are adhering to that brutal genital mutilation. Where does the NT preach this abhorred genital mutilation?

If you don't like other religions aside from Christianity entering and living in the USA - change your silly Constitution.

Male circumcision is a medical health procedure. Even heathens do it.

It was a rank of social status for one.

'Hey, check this out'.......

 

[Kruska]

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?

It has EVERYTHING to do with the thread.

US Constitution:
1st.
Prohibits the government from restricting religious freedom, primarily through the First Amendment. It guarantees the right to practice any religion (or none).

2nd.
Is school attendance in the USA compulsory? YES
Is it compulsory for Muslims to pray 5 times a day? - YES
Is it compulsory fro Christians to pray once or five times a day?- NO

Do schools in the USA provide the necessary locations/requirements for a Christian to pray - YES - since they can pray anywhere standing or sitting, and do not require a room to kneel for their prayer nor to wash their feet.
Do schools in the USA provide the necessary location/requirements for a Muslim to pray 5 times a day? in that particular school in Minneapolis - YES
3rd.
The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly contain the phrase "separation of church and state," but it establishes this principle primarily through the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. This clause prohibits Congress from making any law "respecting an establishment of religion," creating a legal, though debated, barrier between government and religious institutions.

Again MAGA's proof over and over again that they got no clue about the US Constitution.

So is displaying a cross in a class room- establishment of religion? - YES
So is displaying a Koran sure in a class room - establishment of religion? - YES
So is displaying a David star in a class room - establishment of religion? - YES

Is the above allowed for by the US Constitution? - NO

The e.g. Muslim prayer room, is a separated individual room - and not a school class room.

So again, if you or your MAGA pals don't agree to that - change the US Constitution - good luck with that.

Why are you supporting this?

Supporting what?

 

[candycorn]

Yes, our problems started with our youth. When prayer was taken out of school.

Well, apparently the guys in MN are allowing it back in.

You should be applauding if that is your stance.

Why do you support a religion that wants you dead?

Do you have gny figment of me remotely supporting any religion???...I think they are all a bad joke.

That does not give them the right to disrupt public education.Nor to have funds intended to educate students spent on their religious ceremonies.

Catholics have been going to American public schools for hundreds of years. But they don't demand we install confessionals and hang crucifixes, because that's their religion. They often do put their students in private school.Where they can have those things.

Freedom of religion does not entitle people to free stuff from the government. Does the second amendment entitle everyone to free guns from uncle sam?

Circumcision has health benefits and arguably sexual health benefits. you seem like a person that would enjoy a mouthful of s*****, but don't insist that straight women and gay men have to accept it because you like it.

FGM has no health benefits. In fact it is extremely unhealthy. i guess that's why you won't argue for it being provided in public schools, but instead make your irrelevant comparison to justify anti-woman barbarity.

If you don't like other religions aside from Christianity entering and living in the USA - change your silly Constitution.

The constitution is fine. It is your silly interpretation of it that is in need of change.

Montgomery co Md just passed a bill that iCE holding or detention facilities are no longer permitted to operate in the county . So it will be interesting to see how it plays out as County vs Federal

Supporting what?

Muslim foot washing, dum dum.

 

[braalian]

Even putting aside the religion-in-schools debate for a moment, building a special room just so students can pray is stupid under any circumstances

It’s mollycoddling and unnecessary. No school in the world “needs” a prayer room. Ridiculous.

Go to church/mosque/synagogue to pray. School is for school.

 

[Kruska]

NO - school is compulsory - so providing the religious necessities for Muslims is called for by the US Constitution.
And where does it disrupt public education? - since you never went to school - let me tell you there are several breaks ad a big lunch break.

Catholics have been going to American public schools for hundreds of years. But they don't demand we install confessionals and hang crucifixes, because that's their religion. They often do put their students in private school.Where they can have those things.

They can't in public schools - since it's against the US Constitution - nor are Muslims hanging any Quran surahs on class rooms.

Freedom of religion does not entitle people to free stuff from the government. Does the second amendment entitle everyone to free guns from uncle sam?

Only if the "free practice of religion" calls/demands it - e.g 5 times prayer per day.

Circumcision has health benefits and arguably sexual health benefits. you seem like a person that would enjoy a mouthful of s*****, but don't insist that straight women and gay men have to accept it because you like it.

That's what they told you, and Muslims - the vast majority in Europe, nor e.g. China, India or South-America does not perform male genital mutilation.

The constitution is fine. It is your silly interpretation of it that is in need of change.

No - you just don't comprehend the US Constitution - something utmost common amongst MAGA dolts.

 

[candycorn]

Muslim foot washing, dum dum.

Can you quote me on that? Nope.

 

[Lisa558]

If Muslim parents want their kids to pray five times a day, they need to send them to a Muslim private school and pay for it themselves.

After all, the liberal high schools in my county have become so antisemitic with all the Muslims and pro-Palestinian propagandists that Jewish kids are getting assaulted - and THEIR parents have to pay for a private Jewish school.

How could it possibly be fair for Jews to have to pay private school tuition to get away from the Muslims in the public school AND have their property taxes fund Muslim prayer rooms and foot baths in the public schools?

It was interfered with behind the scenes from traitors who were fore fronted as heroes. Using us as a nation of many ethnic groups as the cause of it. Generally, the first-generation experiences the worst in assimilating and even from others. It should improve dramatically from there as assimilation should be taken hold. Those who do not fall behind and then the gripes arise up fast and furious and endless. The rise of the welfare state in all ways has caused massive divisions as many stayed in the way they were living and even live worse with huge hate to those around them a byproduct. We have people who enter our nation now and ***** about it. We have seen it for a few decades and we have seen it with the massive corruption of taxpayer resources in social programs. When they were rioting a decade ago or even less, they were even flying the home country flags. This while living off of the American taxpayer. even recently they did this until told to use American flags.
