Trump pushes prayer in public schools

Newsweek -  President Donald Trump told attendees of the Religious Liberty Commission meeting Monday that new guidance will be released regarding prayer in public schools. "I'm pleased to announce this morning that the Department of Education will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools," Trump said at the meeting....

"For most of our country's history the bible was found in every classroom in the nation, yet in many schools today, students are indoctrinated with anti-religious propaganda," Trump said during the meeting at the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC, adding that "some have already been punished for their religious beliefs."...

A cultural and legal battle surrounding prayer in public schools continues to play out across the United States, with some states proposing laws to further religious expression in school.

The Supreme Court recently upheld a ruling that would not allow Oklahoma to launch the country's first religious public charter school.
