Is Banning Prayer Truly Neutral—or a Constitutional Decision with Consequences?

By @finngxxa751

A few years ago I stood at the back of a high school gym as the band tuned up and the valedictorian rehearsed her speech. An assistant principal reminded the student emcee, quietly but firmly, not to add a prayer to the program. Minutes later, when the crowd settled in, the emcee offered a moment of silence. Some parents bowed their heads. Others checked their phones. Nothing felt especially radical, or especially sacred. It felt careful. That carefulness has become a fe

The building had collected them over time, a big Stars and Stripes, a state flag, and a couple of banners donated by service organizations. The principal was trying to declutter the entryway before a construction project, and he figured the change would keep the flags cleaner during months of dust. He did not an

Why Flying One Flag Sparks Outrage While Others Are Celebrated

By @finngxxa751

Walk into a prime school right this moment and your eyes experiment more than posters approximately promenade and geometry proofs. You would possibly see a Pride flag in a counselor’s place of work, a cultural history banner in a global language lecture room, a pupil with a small skinny blue line sticker on a water bottle, yet one more with a BLM button on a backpack. The American flag, required by means of many states to be displayed someplace within the construction, may
