He is trying to win a battle in a non existent war.

Nobody creates solutions to problems that don't exist better than Dan Patrick, Greg Abbott and company.

Truth.

I was hopeful for Greg, but I would take Rick Perry back at this point.

So you are in agreement with the Texas AG who sued to keep the biblical quote in a school.
I find that a little backwards, but you're entitled to your opinion!

The religious right believes all but one should be. That's the difference between them and me.
So again you advocate for all religions be allowed to practice unfettered in all public schools at all times.
I do like your consistency!
But you do tend to over generalize and demonize "the religious right".
For example: I am on the right, and I'm religious. But I do not, however, advocate any religion in any school during normal school hours. I would be fine with religious extracurricular activities and clubs that are voluntary for the participants. I'm also ok with religious and secular organizations renting public buildings for a competitive rate.
Amazing what I can type in 2 commercials.

That's why you need to keep religion out of places that are owned by the government. It's either all or nothing and I prefer nothing for this reason alone.
The bible not being in our schools is worth it to keep muslim garbage away from our children.

Within reason, yes. Students should be allowed to pray in school or read religious texts in their spare time. Prayer should be allowed over the PA at events. Extracurricular religious organizations should be allowed to meet. I think that at the high school level a basic world religions course or subject matter should be part of the social studies/history curriculum.
The problem is many (most?) on the religious right want all that allowed for Christians but nobody else.

Nobody ever became a Muslim because they saw a classmate was praying to Allah.

They should be allowed to do it without the school's involvement. If they want to have a Muslim club they should be able to. They can have gatherings like FCA does. As long as money isn't going into it and they do no more than provide an empty room for them then I see no problem with it. I think Christians should be able to have groups at school as long as they have the people for it so why not other religions?

Good for that principle. Islam is not compatible with the west and the sooner we come to terms with that fact, the better off we as a civilization(what's left of our civilization that is..) will be in the long run.

prayer to Allah? or what about to Shiva? no, no... let's go with Ra...
or let me guess... you are talking about praying to the God of the Bible, right?
do you see why this is NOT a good idea now?

I'm an atheist, I believe prayer to any deity is as meaningful and effective as talking to yourself. I also believe in the free and open practice of religion.
If a school wants to offer a public prayer before a football game, I don't care. Anyone who gets offended by it is a pussy who should be ridiculed.

Comparing a prayer before a meeting--how often was that?-- to praying multiple times a day, is apples to oranges imo.

He would fit in perfectly on the Poli Board.
