I want to keep prayer in schools as long as we keep them Church-of-Rome, Jews and Mormons the hell away from our prayers! Mooslims too. I can still be Christian about it even though they're all heathens, our kids can still pray for their souls.
Why stick with the Johnny come lately prayers? Go Druid! Or Baal, if you are stuck on the Middle East for religious inspiration.
The Greeks had some great gods to learn about. Jealous rage monsters, horn dogs, ( hence the p'o'ed wives ) party animals, etc. I always liked Athena, goddess of Wisdom, Warfare, and Weaving.
I suppose there's some interesting gods from India you might like, and the Japanese Kami thing just bypasses the "Supreme Being" shtick and just assumes there are spirits everywhere, with varying degrees of awareness.
Schools have become hotbeds of Marxist indoctrination, students are taught that America needs revolution. The Marxist long march through the institutions has been successful.
The march has been successful, until now. I have looked into Trump's second-term goals, with regard to education it states the following:
EDUCATION
Provide School Choice to Every Child in America Teach American Exceptionalism
What does this mean in practice? School choice allows parents to avoid Marxist indoctrination schools. Schools that teach Leftist Philosophy can now be avoided by parents in a manner that was not possible before. Teaching American exceptionalism prevents any further Marxist march through the institutions and allows students to be educated in a patriotic way, not in a Marxist revolutionary way.
School choice + American exceptionalism (American patriotism) = removal of Marxism from schools.
It takes about 15 to 20 years to undo Marxism in schools. This is a long-term plan, as Yuri explains:
“It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which is required to educate one generation of students, in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, [the] Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism—American patriotism.” – Yuri Bezmenov

I am 44. At least since I was in grade school I believe teachers have been attempting to fill children's heads with Marxist Ideology, and a general disregard for the USA. Not very obviously, but subtly back then. By high school it was really obvious, at least to me. To many teachers talking about how "On paper" communism was a good thing, it just needed the right leaders. When my high school MATH teacher was writing and leaving his political thoughts on the chalkboard, I knew it was getting bad...
Now days.... No way would I allow a child of mine to go to public school. Total indoctrination. With the teachers openly encouraging kids to spy on their parents and report back.
Orwell predicted all of this in Animal Farm and 1984.

Matthew,
Talk about similar! I went to fifth grade while living in Campbell, California. My teacher was retired air force, and an exception as well. He was strict. I attempted to but heads with him, but quickly came away the loser lol!!!

I had a Anthro teacher much like this in college. We got along fine. OTOH I got a "D" in Psych102 for calling Freud a "Coke Head with Mommy Issues". Aced the tests... but class participation... not so much.

I’m 50. None of my teachers mixed politics with school. I grew up in Seattle. Seattle went downhill fast when the San Franciscans moved in starting in the mid 80s. The Seattle times has been hard left for as long as I can remember, and I delivered that rag for nearly six years.
Trump is cutting the head of the Marxist dragon. He is keeping his promise of getting rid of the Radical Left Philosophy from the government, newsrooms and schools, which he delivered in a speech:
"This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty must be stopped and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation’s children from this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It’s not going to happen to us."
It cannot be overstated that purging Critical Race Theory was a major blow to the Left. Yuri Bezmenov said decades ago that American Patriotism is what is needed to challenge Marxist ideological subversion within institutions such as the education system. 1776 Commission does just that by challenging Leftist Narrative. Schools should be places where ideas are challenged, schools should not be places where sacred cows are worshipped.
Speaking of sacred cows, they do make the best burgers.
The particular class of people who have ruled this nation in recent decades worship no one but themselves. They despise us because we fail to worship them. Christianity, straight-up and unadulterated, is an affront to their authority. A sign of inferior breeding. A vulgar deficit of what is needed to be cool.
