  1. Yup, he has a right to pray. He doesn't have a right to coerce students to pray, which is what he's doing by attracting attention to his praying.

  2. Joe Heid Way to move those goalposts. This isn't about prayer being "offensive".

  3. Matthew 6:5 When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

  4. Matthew 6:5 “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men."

  7. Nope, he doesn't get to coerce kids with my tax dollars.

  8. Nope, coercive prayer is illegal.

  9. Nobody says he can't pray. Why are you Christians so dishonest?

  10. He can pray all he wants but he's not allowed to make a show of it. MAGAs always ignore this crucial distinction; they WANT to be seen praying so everyone will think they're wonderful.

  11. See religious freedom. Please put your bibull down and educate yourself.

  12. Prayer doesn't work. There is no god. Deep down they know this which is why they're making such a fuss.

  13. Christians get very angry when we don't want to play with their toys.

  14. Wow, you really don't understand the issue.

  15.  @jonathanmanley8739  You're welcome. I wonder whether you'll try to educate yourself or continue burying your head in the sand.

  16.  @jonathanmanley8739  I'm sorry you don't know the diff between a private football field and a public school one.

  17.  @jonathanmanley8739  I'm still sorry you don't know the diff between private and public. Also, you clearly don't know the diff between knowledge and faith.

  18.  @jonathanmanley8739  Don't take my word for it. Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others."

  19.  @jonathanmanley8739  I've studied religion probably longer than you've been alive, son.

  20.  @jonathanmanley8739  Also, I can't think of a better place than Fox comments to find Christians who need their religious myths challenged and who need to be reminded that the U.S. is not a Christian nation.

  22. Prayer = coercion = violates 1st Amendment

  23.  @rickkahl5444  I think we're in agreement. Public school employees should not be praying in front of students, period. It's coercive. Plenty of places to pray privately, no need to do it in front of everyone like on a field or stage. Christians get very angry when we don't want to play with their toys.

  24.  @asitraining7664  Show us on your trumpy bear where secularism hurt your wittle feewings.

  25.  @petep.2092  It's coercive.

  26. Coercive prayer is illegal. He's gonna lose.

  27. Way to have no point.

  28. MAGA wants prayer in schools because it's easier than thinking.

  29. "WAH! Why isn't everyone a Christian like me???"

  30. His ostentatious prayer is coercive and therefore illegal. You MAGAs will learn eventually.

  31.  @evertvdb000  MAGAs won't be happy unless everyone bows down to their invisible sky daddy. They are very insecure and need constant affirmation. Sad.
