Public school sanctioned prayer is making a comeback in Texas

But of course there is a twist....

quote:

---

The school has been providing space for students for about six or seven years after administrators learned that some Muslim students were leaving campus for several hours on Friday for prayer. Friday is the most important day in the Muslim faith.

---

And the best part was the principle suggesting that the Muslim students "lead the prayer as a group herecat thr school".

quote:

---

"I met with those students and a couple of the parents and suggested, 'Hey would you be OK if the students led the prayer here at school as a group, and we gave them a space to do that so they didn't have to be in a car traveling 30 minutes each way on a Friday missing an hour, hour and a half, of class?

---

The room is supposed to be "open to all" but that does not matter. The school principle openly admits it was put there for the Muslim students and he even suggests "students led the prayer here at school as a group".

Where is the ACLU and organizations like Freedom From Religon on this issue? This room has been open for business for years. You know if a school did this except it was because of Christian students, the liberals would be losing their minds. For decades liberals have fought tooth and nail against any accommodation to Christian students wanting things like prayer groups during school hours and on school grounds. But when Muslims want the same things the school goes so far as to give them a room.
