We're ramping up for the 2020 election, expect to hear a lot more bullshit claims from Trump along the lines of a middle class tax cut, beautiful and cheap healthcare for everyone, and The Wall.
He does this right before elections, then he never says another word about until the next election cycle. You'd think after two election cycles his dupes would catch on by now.

Any source that doesn't flow from his mouth is fake news doncha know? He is a master of gaslighting.

I put on my facebook, well remember when they do this then muslims can pray 5 times a day in schools, hindus, Buddhists, all the other religions have rights too. Of course they only intend this for Christians so I'm sure that went over well.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

A divided Supreme Court, led by Justice Anthony Kennedy, said on Monday that the town of Greece, N.Y., can begin its town meetings with a religious prayer, delivered almost exclusively by Christian clergy. The ruling had been long-anticipated and widely debated since case arguments were heard last November. Ruling from 5/5/14.

You know, I really think it might be a good thing to see Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and other religions I'm missing allowed to pray in school. It'll expose people to others. Just think, right after they say a Christian prayer they have to then add one for all the other religions. It'll be great at broadening experiences and helping kids realize their religion isn't the only one in the world.

And if religious displays are allowed during the Happy Holidays season, I can see a Satanic display right next to a manger display. Be careful what you wish for. Allowing one religion means you must allow all religions.

They wouldn't be allowed anymore than the Catholic hospital here allows it.
Sure you can "silently" conduct prayer in your religion but you better fake participation in the Christian prayers before every meeting and every morning over the intercom
They are losing staff because it makes people extremely uncomfortable. The clear message is the only religion that is tolerated is Catholicism.
They are a private entity they can do this. If Nebraska Medicine which is publicly owned did this patients and staff would rightly have a shit fit.
School should be the same way.

Except they'd be slapped back so fast that they'd have to or then disallow it.
There's a reason why Florida had to allow a display from the Satanic Temple and one worshiping the Flying Spaghetti Monster right along side the Christmas and Hanukkah displays.

I laughed so hard I peed when I read that story a few years ago. Okay I'll admit I'd pay to see someone demand to lead a satanic chant in schools in the name of religious freedom.
