Nah fuck that. No official religious prayers of any kind at school. Nobody should be kept from praying in a non disruptive way but nobody should be forced to participate or feel pressured to participate out if fear of being ostracized. You want your kids to pray and recite the pledge, do it with them in the morning before they go to school. You know, like a parent. Not hard.
Our country was (at one time) based on Freedom of Religion; that being Christianity but other religions as well when others entered our country. NOW it seems as if OUR Religion of Christianity has taken a 'backseat' to others. We have bowed down and stepped aside to appease other religions for fear of NOT HURTING THEIR FEELINGS. That is not what freedom of religion is about. So now businesses do not allow 'Bell Ringers' at Christmas due to hurting the Muslim Faith (TARGET), Taking down the Ten Commandments in Public Buildings, giving a Moment of Silence in schools for some kids (especially kindergarten and first graders) who have no idea what the 'silence' is for.
God granted us 'free will' to choose. But (IF) a child becoming an adult has 'never' heard the WORD from anywhere, how are they to choose? That's why I said 'a little religion meaning the hearing of God's word never hurt anyone' so that these children can figure it out for themselves. NO ONE MENTIONED a pork chop. But I'm sure if they smelled one cooking and the temptation struck them to try one, they would sneak and eat it basically for the 'free will' to find out for themselves.
Now it is no longer okay to say the Lords Prayer in school which is said in a minute or less; but it is okay for a SATANIC WORSHIP CLUB after school. It's okay though, it's all a part of our Freedom of Religion. I suppose you'd much rather love your children to attend those. Our country was based on Christianity and as Patriots; I thought that was another reason for our fight. That's what President Trump said to do. PRAY. PRAY for the saving of our Country. Mike Flynn said to pray as well as Linn Wood, Steve Bannon and others. But I suppose you have a different idea of going about it. It's okay if you decide to leave GOD out of the Equation. We'll watch the world sink even faster than it already is. That's what it sounds like you'd rather prefer. Teach a child the way to go and he will not forsake it.
I do have my qualms about things and Pronouns IS NOT one of them neither is baking a cake for someone GAY. Those are against my Christian faith also. But I evidently grew up in a different era than you, as you seem to have the belief that it's okay to start the day off without God in a childs school life. Times were a 'little bit' simpler then. Oh how I wish I could bring those days back. This is my final rebuttal. I have my opinions and you have yours. We both have that RIGHT which I am not trying to take away from you so don't try to put any more words into my mouth. I do pray that God blesses you and that you have a great day. Until then, I enjoyed our debate.

Sometimes kids never KNOW who God is because of parents who are non-believers or who do not attend church. ONE PRAYER doesn't hurt anyone.
