We still do a minute of silence. No one is ever silent.

Protestants are crazy. How the need for the Catholic Church isn't self evident will never make sense to me.

Yes, all the Catholics here on this board are perfectly reasonable. No crazy ones here...

Saw a notice that Pasadena ISD was voting on this tonight.

In case anyone was wondering, yes, Pasadena ISD headquarters is on Mickey Gilley Boulevard.

They already do this in Richardson ISD for Muslim kids. They get to go in the hall for prayer throughout the day. It's ridiculous and disruptive.

---

Wow! Sickening. But until conservatives quit bowing down to pressure from the left this type of thing will only get worse.

As school districts start voting on prayer periods in schools, what does F16 think.

How can this be implemented? (Logistically, not legally)
Is this a good idea?

I do know how to implement this other than have this br an optional flex period with teachers who agree to host these students.

I think it is a great idea as a public school teacher. I would be willing to host these students and join in daily scripture and prayer (i already do both of these without students in my class). Lots of schools are losing students to private christian schools in my area (including my own kids possibly) so keeping these kids would be a great thing in my opinion.

This is the first step in implementing Sharia Law. Most of the things they want will be made legal one at a time until most of Sharia law will be legal for them to practice. They need their prayer time, and now is the time to see if it can be implemented.

It's coming and everyone knows it.

Luckily, Christianity finally progressed past this phase.

---

You mean the phase where they traveled to the Holy Land to defend Christians against the unprovoked attacks by....

Muslims?

---

Nope. But let's not pretend that Christianity doesn't have its own rather ugly, corrupt, oppressive, and violent past once it was co-opted for political and personal gain. It's been used in its own right to justify foul human behavior.

This doesn't mean that I'm comparing it to or in anyway justifying Islamic violence, oppression, corruption, etc. I find foul and unjustified behavior taken in the name of any religion equally unacceptable.

All that said, I was serious in my statement that I'm glad that Christianity has moved past that point in its history. I say this as a Christian.

---

To be clear, Christians have had some bad phases, Christianity has not. I'm not sure the same can be said of Islam.

---

Sure, take out the Crusades, the Inquisition, slavery in the American south, French wars of religion, conquest/colonization of the new world, etc... absolutely no bad phases at all for Christianity!

Welcome to 2026….

Nobody needs "prayer periods". If you want to pray, pray. There's plenty of downtime in a school day.

---

But if it's not forced so that non Christians have to watch or deal with it happening, what's the point?

Also, how will anyone know just how "Christian" someone is if they can't perform in front of others?

Also, are Christians not allowed to pray at home, in their rooms, before they even go to school?

I pray the astronauts prayer before every exam.
