This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

There's your problem in a nutshell, America.
This person does not understand how America got to this point.
What the fuck
Idaho….? Utah? Neutral, really?
Utah has been getting a ton of Californians moving in. Also, Mormons seem to believe the whole separation of church and school thing.
What the fuck Michigan
If they want there is nothing stopping them from praying in school if they want, they just can't compel others to do it with them.
That's the thing. It's not enough that they're free to follow their religion, they need to force everyone else to follow it too.
The point of the establishment clause is that it shouldn't matter what the majority says about religion. It should mean exactly nothing. Tyranny of the majority shouldn't be allowed to make non-Christians into second class citizens.
That's a lot of stupid morons who pretend to care about the constitution but don't.
"You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."
I love blazing saddles
That's a lot of stupid morons who pretend to care about the ~~constitution~~ bible but don't.
Pretty much.
As culture wars continue to brew in schools across the United States, one unconventional group is pushing for more representation in the classroom: Satanists. This has particularly caused controversy in states like Tennessee, where an elementary school formed a program for children called the "After School Satan Club."
This program was created by an organization called the Satanic Temple, a relatively new religious movement that purports to teach "compassion and empathy toward all creatures." However, the introduction of these clubs has unsurprisingly made parents upset, while supporters of the Satanic Temple say they are working to improve the lives of children.

The Satanic Temple really is great. For those that haven't heard of them, check it out. Donate. Join. They use religious laws for the promotion of logic, reason, and empathy.
Why just Christian prayers? Why not prayer in general?
Use a generic "what do you think about prayer in public schools?" survey, and then where states vote YES create campaigns to make satanic and Muslim prayer programs at schools in the states that were all for prayer lol
Because most of these places have <1% non Christians in their communities. Anything else is scary
There is no way utah and idaho are neutral here
You’d be surprised. The non-Christian/Non-Mormon population of those states is extremely convinced of the need for separation of church and state.
The Mormons know what would happen to them if a true Christian theocracy arose at the federal level.
Yeah, evangelicals would suddenly be okay with Mormons because the Mormons have a lot of money (like, a lot). We all know the God they worship.
Nothing like proximity to religious zealots to convince you that they shouldn't be anywhere near power (or children).
