‘If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.‘ (2 Chronicles 7:14, NASB)
Thank you, Mr. President.
May it be so, LORD...

Thank you Mr. President for allowing prayer in school and for making it clear that it's appropriate everywhere as an inalienable right.
May the Lord bless and keep our President, his family, and his loyal administration.

Thank you, sir. While anyone can pray at any time without the rest of the world knowing, there have been instances of persecution when groups of students attempted to exercise their faith publicly. Just hope it doesn't evolve into prayer mat rooms and thrice-daily 30 minute breaks for Muslims. Abuses are always possible, but sincere Christians wouldn't do it.

This President's attempt to restore this country to the place that many of us love and remember is the very reason the left despises him. Allowing prayer back in schools will trigger the little anti-God zealots. They will challenge this in Court and take it all the way to the Supreme Court. Should be interesting what is decided. I applaud him though. Most politicians wouldn’t even bother to make prayer a point of interest for them. I cannot express how grateful I am that President Trump has the courage and determination to stand up for the issues that matter to most Americans. God bless him.

This is stunning. Where I grew up in northern Illinois before becoming a permanent Colorado semi-native 45 years ago, prayer in Illinois' public schools was very common. Not only that, we started every day with the pledge of allegiance, including the "one nation under God" part. How cool is this to go back to recognizing God and America in the same sentence.

This is huge, considering that the Marxist, Muslim, Mulatto was also the one who required muslim prayer rooms in airports. What did they pray for except that their brothers and sisters did not blow up the plane they would be boarding?

Thank you President Trump for restoring school prayer. When they removed it from public schools is when we started to see the continual slide into secularism in this country. This country was founded on Judeo Christian principles and it's those principles that have contributed to it's greatness. Keep America Great 2020.

Wasn't it during the '70s that the "Progressive" Left drove prayer out of the public schools? "Obama-era discriminatory federal regulations"? Not his, per se, but during his time? And which federal authority?
Sorry, but this smells heavily-spun to me. Besides, since when are public school policies under Executive Branch jurisdiction?

Lets correct that headline:President Trump removes unconstitutional government infringement of student's First Amendment protected rights.
The fedgov bureaucrats (aka democrats or leftards) always ignore the clear restrictions the constitution places on government; e.g. the commerce clause used to infiltrate every aspect of life, when that wasn't what it said or meant when it was written. Always. And they need to start feeling personal pain when that happens. It will cut down on the occurrences.

This is all great until its a Muslim prayer offered before the football game, or a Buddhist burning incense and ringing bells, or a Satanist. Right? No squawking then, okay? Non-Christians have First Amendments rights, too.

#12, were you right about that last point, there would be no Federal Department of Education. [Which IMHO would be a good thing, but that's for another day.] Tender of Federal funds ALWAYS is conditioned on acceptance of Federal regulations -- which come from the Executive branch. So yes, the DOE can condition Federal funds on total banishment of prayer from a participating school (Obama) or on accepting the right to pray on school property (Trump).
The '70s was the era that MANDATORY school prayer was abolished -- through a series of undemocratic court rulings, that I personally agree with, but nevertheless imposed, not adopted. VOLUNTARY, non-coercive prayer was permitted -- until Obama came along.

Some folks wonder why that if praying in school to the most important thing in their lives, God, Country and Family in that order, then Trump should have done this in his first act as President. Now if "educators" are required to teach, then I would be satisfied. But that's not as important as praying to a"supreme being". Some have said often that removing prayers from the schools was the cause of "education"s failure. In a month will all be hunky dory in schools? I doubt it.

I appreciate the clarifications in #16 - however, the schools I attended in Virginia and California during that period were hell-bent on stopping any organized prayer in school functions, or even on school property. Not just "mandatory", but "organized" (even if participation was officially optional).
Apologies for my complaint about jurisdiction, as I'm reminded that schools officially fall under the purvey of a Dept. of Education, which (being a cabinet department) does fall under the Executive Branch's authority.

It's been a long time since I was in grade school, I'm 76. The only time I can remember any prayer in school was at a country school in NW Wisconsin. At lunch time, we stood for a silent prayer. I remember our principal was Catholic and he crossed himself. All through 1st thru 12th grade we sang Religious and non religious Christmas song. I never new of any complaints. Literally, every one had values back then. Good times I am speaking of 1950-1962.

Atheists like Madeline Murray O'Hair pushed out prayer from the schools back when I was a kid. Now she is just dust in the wind. She was killed and went "poof!" No more old hag.
