Texas Public High School Opens Muslim Prayer Room

For decades we were taught that Christian prayer in schools violated the separation of church and state. Why isn’t this considered a violation of the separation of mosque and state? Why do we see, yet again, Muslims getting special privileges and accommodations that aren’t offered to non-Muslims?

“Prayer Room At Public High School Raises Legal Concerns,” by Mary Lou Lang-Byrd, Daily Caller, March 17, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A prayer room at a Texas high school is raising legal concerns and the state’s attorney general’s office in a letter on Friday to school district’s superintendent indicated the school’s policy should be neutral toward religion.

Liberty High School’s prayer room, which is reportedly dedicated to students who practice Islam, allows the students to pray at the school on Fridays instead of leaving to say their required prayers. The letter cites the school’s own news site, which focused on the prayer room.

In a letter Friday to the the Frisco Independent School District, the Texas attorney general’s office outlined the legal concerns over the prayer room, indicating it may violate the First Amendment’s protection of religious liberty.

“Liberty High School’s policy should be neutral toward religion,” the letter from Deputy Attorney General Andrew Leonie to Superintendent Jeremy Lyons said. “However, it appears that students are being treated different based on their religious beliefs. Such a practice, of course, is irreconcilable with our nation’s enduring commitment to religious liberty.”…

“Reports from Liberty’s news site indicate that the prayer room is not available to students of all faiths. Instead, it appears that the prayer room is ‘dedicated to the religious needs of some students,’ namely those who practice Islam,” the letter reads….

“This is my seventh year at Liberty, my first year it kind of started when a core group of students were leaving campus every Friday for Friday prayer,” said Principal Scott Warstler.

“Their parents would come pick them up, so they may miss an hour and a half to two hours to two and a half hours of school every Friday, so I met with those students and a couple of their parents and suggested if they would be okay if the students were able to lead the prayer 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 thirty minutes each way on a Friday missing an hour, hour and a half, of class,” said Warstler….

And they never met a transgender whom they did not think that was individually more important than the rest of the hundred of millions normal people.
Here is your new book, it is a must read, and long time coming. This is the book you will otherwise not be given access to and is already censored before it ever hit the shelves.

Being a supporter of Hobby Lobby, I cannot in good faith ever give the ACLU any credit ever again. They discredited themselves with their clearly anti christian and pro muslim approach these days. However, it is a good idea to purposefully put yourself on their mailing lists. You’ll get a first hand taste of how they blatantly twist law and order and demonize christians.

There’e separation of Church and State but I guess there is no separation of Mosque and State. Yep – the muslims are taking over.

There is no separation between mosque and state, there is only islam privately and publicly. There is no tolerance either, try opening a Christian chapel or any other space dedicated to a specific religion and see how it doesn’t happen. Texas of all places, being islamified.

If Muslims don’t want to live by the same rules the rest of us live by then let them go back to a Muslim country where they can pray all day if they want to. We don’t want that here. It is just another form of indoctrination towards pulling our kids into their religion.

The Christian kids need to descend on that prayer room in big numbers and start praying themselves.

The infowars board was alight with awesome jokes and quipps about leaving a bacon sandwich in there, accidentally wiping raw bacon grease all over the place, and the list went on. Nothing says welcome to the USA to a muslim like an anonymous gift of bacon! The best thing about liberty; The liberty to leave.

Those who did, when found, would be charged with a hate crime, it’s already happened.

Please support Trumps proposed voucher program. In CO we have to pay 300 a month to send kids to christian schools and although there are voucher programs they do not apply to faith based institutions. We demand god in our childrens school!

And when a University or other institution creates a ‘non denominational prayer space’ the Muslims take it over and will not allow anyone else to ‘defile’ it.

Seems like Texas is going libtard. We’ve been hearing more stories about their Muztard problems as well. What’s going on down there? Has it been Californicated, or what?
Time to replace the school board, the superintendent, and the principle.

Many liberals have moved to Texas for the reason to liberalize Texas.

Who would’ve ever figured TX would be among the first to cave to the f’ing muslums?
I wonder if the former governor and muslum collaborator Perry had anything to do w/this?

Allowing Muslim prayer rooms in public schools establishes a dangerous two-tier system of justice in America where there are laws for Muslims and laws for everyone else. The separation of Church and State guaranteed by the First Amendment to our America constitution makes it illegal to have Muslim prayer rooms in public schools. Either Muslims conform to the same laws that every other American adheres to or they are free to live in any one of the Muslim countries in the world that follow the dictates of sharia law and not the American constitution.

Christians, Jews, Buddhists and all other religions need to stand together now. Where are the atheists? Why aren’t they out there demanding this room be shut down as it is against the first amendment?
The whole reason for the first amendment was so NO religion was to be shown special treatment by the government, schools are paid with tax money, the citizens need to ban together to stop this outrage and misuse of tax money.
