Trump moves to protect prayer in public schools - WND
"Arguing the Founders "understood that no right is more fundamental to a peaceful, prosperous, and virtuous society than the right to follow one’s religious convictions," President Trump announced new protections Thursday for prayer and religious expression in public schools. The White House said the plan is to "help safeguard students' rights by giving education providers and students the most current information concerning prayer in public schools."
While there will be no change to existing law or regulations, the Department of Education will send a letter to education secretaries and officials in all 50 states to remind them that students and teachers are protected by First Amendment religious rights. The Education Department also will update 2003 guidance regarding prayer in public schools and streamline a federal complaint process for students alleging discrimination by authorities."
