Prayer in schools shouldn’t necessarily be prohibited. SCOTUS ruled that schools can’t lead prayer or enforce it upon students, but if an individual teacher or student wishes to personally pray, they are allowed to and protected under the first amendment

Yes, and Healey surely knows that and upholds it as AG and would as governor. Because Democrats aren’t for illegal required participation in prayer (or implied by having it be led by a teacher or an official part of a school program), Republicans of course lie and say they’re anti-prayer.

I don't feel anyone is arguing against personal prayer in schools.

If people want to pray to a deity of choice, so be it. As long as what you pray/believe doesn't try to get forced, imposed, or in any way impact my life, you do you.

I think it's generally interpreted that any talk of prayer in school refers to that being led or mandated by the school.

Even personal prayer should be banned at schools.

It's a place for education, not cults.

Drop sports too. It’s such a waste of time and money.
