Oh come on... They were just lucky with their choices and pulled out just before their choices in stocks collapsed/
A good example is Pelosi's latest windfall by selling off VISA stock two days before the bottom fell out.

There is a good Gaddamned reason I moved away from Okiehoma after 24 years of living in the nut house.

Hmm...., is that like what Leftist teachers dod with our young children in schools when Obama was elected?

Just to note.......instructing kids to sing would not be unconstitutional.

Praying with kids in school would be.

Wouldn't it depend on what they were singing - and whether it was compulsory or voluntary?

Oklahoma’s state superintendent of schools, Ryan Walters, wants every teacher in the state to show a video message from him to their classes which shows him praying for Donald Trump.

Unfortunately for Walters, the state attorney general says that he can’t require students to watch the video, which also announces the creation of a new Department of Religious Freedom and Patriotism, and at least seven of Oklahoma’s school districts say they won’t show it.

“There is no statutory authority for the state schools superintendent to require all students to watch a specific video,” Phil Bacharach, a spokesman for the Oklahoma attorney general’s office, told The Oklahoman. “Not only is this edict unenforceable, it is contrary to parents’ rights, local control and individual free-exercise rights.”

On Thursday night, Walters sent out an email to Oklahoma’s public school superintendents ordering them to show his one-minute-and-24-second video to students. The email contained several grammatical errors, with Walters writing, “We are in a dangerous time for this country. Student’s [sic] rights and freedoms regarding religious liberties are continuously under assault.”

So teachers will allow worship of anything like queers, global warming etc etc, just not Jesus or Trump. They draw the line there.

Why would praying be illegal?

That's funny, I said the same thing about San Francisco.

Can you imagine if Trump had control of your bank accounts and could seize them any time he wanted?

The bank just looked up the account balance and laughed.

Very good. Church and public schools must be separate.

Oh goodie. This argument again. Where does it say that?

A huge photo of Trump should be in every classroom.

Yes, I suppose it would but I don't recall it being religious.
