re: Checking in on the “keep prayer out of school” crowd

Can I inject a little counterpoint into the situation without being burned at the stake? I’m gonna give it a shot anyway. For the folks who insist that government has no place inserting itself into this type situation insofar as it dictating what can or can’t be said on college campuses by way of using the power of the purse, so to speak. In other words, throwing its weight around with the idea of withholding federal funds if the school doesn’t act in accordance with certain dictates from the government. There’s pushback in this situation, however it’s a completely different thought pattern, say, if the scenario is changed to wanting something like DEI eliminated from use within the school’s hiring schemes. Folks are ok with threatening to withhold funding in the DEI situation, yet denounce the same tactics in this scenario.
