Actually, he can't. The students can, but faculty can't.

It shows preference which can create division.

Have no idea what you are talking about. Try staying in the present.

It is unconstitutional for a teacher to participate in or with students praying.

Yes, thank you for proving the point.

It was about not letting majority rule and if a minority has an issue then it can't be trampled.

You'd be also hard pressed to find, another nation on earth that puts up with such commie "minority" drivel than US. And doesn't boot thier unthankful butts into the sea.

Not really, you do know we are not the only civilized country right? Love that you want to preach about a republic and then talk about a commie minority. Sounds like you think the majority should take action against them...
Is that how a republic works?

I replied to your "seculars keep winning in courts" comment. As if your/that statement was some great thing to be proud of. How about you not play stupid a keep up with the present?

Where is it "unconstitutional" for teachers to pray with students? Federal or State Constitution? What part of the COTUS says that? Or is there a new Constitution the rest of us don't know about?

He wouldn't be, and you had no answer to my question. Let me know when you can answer my question.

If he is there quite then yes that is fine,but that isn't the case now is it?

Would you be ok any religions prayer being lead by teachers/coaches in schools?

Don't be silly. A/our Republic protects the minority from the majority. Proof is? Apparently the majority loved BO. We've had him for his two terms. And I know, he didn't get his bucket list accomplished. Our system still works for now. He's done some damage, but nothing that can't be undone. God Bless the Republic and our COTUS!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Two parts: will not establish / will not prohibit.

The only way for government to do both these things simultaneously is to stay out of religion completely.

Read James Madison aka the Father of the Constitution:

Ye States of America, which retain in your Constitutions or Codes, any aberration from the sacred principle of religious liberty, by giving to Caesar what belongs to God, or joining together what God has put asunder, hasten to revise & purify your systems, and make the example of your Country as pure & compleat, in what relates to the freedom of the mind and its allegiance to its maker, as in what belongs to the legitimate objects of political & civil institutions.

Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the United States the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history.

My response was what he should do is be there quietly and not lead a prayer.

I would be perfectly fine as long as it was not mandatory. Lawfully, he can be there, he just can't lead the prayer. we agree on that.

Can you name one time we've had this issue that was not Christian prayer.

Logical fallacy. I asked a question, you can answer it or ignore it, your call. What you can't do is use logical fallacies.

That doesn't explain "separation of church and state". He was talking to governments of states. Not the voters/people. You think he was telling the people to set thier mind free of belief/moral foundation? I'm willing to bet James never imagined America would grow to such a reprobate nation, with such "intolerance" of "freedom of mind"...If he did? He wouldn't have wrote this, this way, to be used by folks he no doubt, would've had absolute contempt for. Libs should never use or quote the founders. If the founders were alive today. Nobody would ever know what a "gay pride" parade was about. Only because freedom was not a license for immorality.

Exactly. Our Constitutional Republic protects the non-Christian minority from the Christian majority.

Government officials, including teachers and coaches, do not pray Christian prayers while on County or City time on County or City property. Not even if every one of the students, teachers, administrators, and parents agree to do so.

To do anything else is to spit on the Constitution and trample it underfoot.

Like I said earlier, the 'government' has nothing to do with it...

And staying out of religion is the very LAST thing those in power care about.

In fact, they use religion to their own advantage by using infiltration and manipulation.

The Cult of Baal Never Disappeared

Although the observance of these rituals was sometimes condemned by religious movements, it never truly disappeared.

“The religion of the god Baal was widely accepted among the ancient Jews, and although it was put down at times, it was never permanently stamped out. Kings and other royalty of the ten Biblical tribes worshiped the god.

Perhaps you didn't read what I linked: let's try the relevant part again.

Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the United States the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history.

I'm not interested in your attempt to move the conversation to "setting their minds free of belief/moral foundation."

I'm not interested in your opinion that the United States is "reprobate."

In fact, the Separation of Church and State as explained by both James Madison AND Thomas Jefferson was established PRECISELY FOR THE PURPOSE of protecting the People's freedom of religion.

I'm not interested in your paltry interpretation of Madison's words.

I'm not interested that you wish to silence Americans that you consider "libs"

Given your interpretation of the Constitution, and those of Madison and Jefferson, I'll go with the latter.

PS: Are you kidding about gay pride? With those wigs and hose? The Founders would be just fabulous!
