The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/school-prayer)
The Department of Education’s new guidance affirms protected religious expression in public schools, while raising questions about how neutrality, enforcement, and the absence of non-Abrahamic examples may shape its real-world application.
A Florida resident has petitioned South Dakota to mandate a prayer in public schools, reminding children that they are under the judgment of the Abrahamic God.
LOUISIANA – The state of Louisiana is known for its political conservatism, particularly in terms of religious freedom. According to Pew Forum, the state is 84% Christian, which is 14 percentage above the U.S. total percentage. The majority of those people are reportedly Evangelical Christians (27%), “Historically” Black Protestant (22%), and Catholics (26%). All of those figures are also larger than U.S. totals. Therefore, it is not surprising to find Louisiana is one of the major battle grounds for religious freedom, not only at a local level but at a state level.
