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

[Mr Natural]

So how can a curious child learn about religious beliefs? What IS a religious belief? How do you define "religion" in order to prohibit discussing it?

Ridiculous.

By going to church.

 

[martybegan]

I guess the OP suddenly is against prayer in school?

And now you are suddenly for it.

By going to church.

How can a kid learn about Buddhism in a Christian church?

 

[Mr Natural]

How can a kid learn about Budhism in a Christian church?

By going to a Buddhist church.

Ridiculous.

Who's saying anything about discussing it? If you want to discuss comparative religion, that is fine. If you want to practice your religion in school go to a religious school.

 

[Zincwarrior]

God has never been removed from schools. Students have always been able to practice their religious beliefs.

ESPECIALLY RIGHT BEFORE THAT MATH TEST.

 

[Churchill]

By going to a Buddhist church.

You need some lessons yourself, there are no Buddhist churches.

 

[Mr Natural]

You need some lessons yourself, there are no Buddhist churches.

Whatever they call their houses of worship.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The school is forcing you to pray?

No, just wash your damn feet you stinkie!

How can a kid learn about Buddhism in a Christian church?

You're just determined every, single day to prove what a douchebag you are, aren't you?

 

[Churchill]

Who's saying anything about discussing it? If you want to discuss comparative religion, that is fine. If you want to practice your religion in school go to a regious school.

Fine, so long as you're not censoring knowledge.

Wait, I thought we had the separation of church and state in the US? Didn't the Left take the Christian God out of the public schools via the SCOTUS?
If true, this an example of creeping Shaira.

Nope.

No Ten Commandments in schools. Not this either. Children can pray of course, but schools are not beholden to offer a space for that.

 

[Churchill]

Whatever they call their houses of worship.

But why? what if the kid isn't intersted in a specfic theology?

 

[pknopp]

How could that be when public schools are not even allowed to have a moment of prayer?

They can't have a moment of silence, so maybe they could have a "room of silence," or somesuch.

I seriously doubt christian kids are going to be allowed to use the muslim prayer room in minnesota public schools.

Some christian families will sue over that. Of course, the supreme court will rule that you cannot have a room set aside for one faith only at a public school. it will be an eight to one decision with the most recent DEI hire as the loan dissenter.

If all are not allowed then they will have a problem.

The public schools I went to here in Florida allowed students to pray in public as long as it doesn't interfere with foot traffic.
We had prayer circles in the Court Yard at high school and some staff had a negative view of it but gave no problems.
I would say a quick prayer to myself at lunch and religion was discussed by students out side the classroom and inside during free time periods along with other issues. We had a teacher who would grill you on your religious belief during those discussions so you needed to be on top of the subject .

 

[Frankeneinstein]

The school is forcing you to pray?

no just to pay for it...I'm thinking the christians may have put one over on the socially educated crowd by pretending their prayer room is for a different faith so it would fly through the process.

Wear shoes and socks you dont need running tap water to wash your feet. Total nonsense.

Next, into PHX desert city where water is always on crisis. Punk anarchist dics will leave it running.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The OP and others like myself are consistently against the hypocrisy of the Left on so many issues such as prayer in school. If there is going to be a prayer room in a taxpayer funded public school, then that prayer room needs to be non-denominational and/or open to all religions and faiths to hold prayer and services.

How do you know it isn't?

 

[leftwinger]

Minn is the model for a Muslim take over of districts that will be converted to Sharia law. We need to deport and indict the Somali Muslim fraud in that state

Last I heard 63 of 72 Somali fraudsters were convicted. Shamefully not the GOVT lackeys that approved them and funneled the money out.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So you good with a Bible class in school?

Texas and Louisiana has the Ten Commandments in them now, and student religious groups are common.
