in early January, Trump hinted that the action would be made official today -- Jan. 16.
File photo of President Donald Trump thanking fourth-graders Janayah Chatelier and Landon Fritz for their homemade greeting cards during his visit to St. Andrew Catholic School in Orlando, Fla. on March 3, 2017. With the president, from back left to right, are: Sen. Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, and John Kirtley, a tax-credit scholarship proponent.
"President Trump is committed to making sure that people of faith, particularly children, are not subjected to illegal punishment or pressure for exercising their constitutionally protected rights," Grogan, the White House director of the Domestic Policy Council, said in a call to reporters.
"Any guidelines this administration produces will likely either be littered with twisted interpretations of the law or, even if they are accurate, Trump will start boasting that he 'brought prayer back to schools' or some such nonsense," Boston wrote in aHe added,"If [the] Trump administration offers misleading advice on religion and public schools, we’ll be there to set the record straight and ensure our public schools remain inclusive and welcoming for all students,...
Remember your Judeau Christian values ABC
'We will not let anyone push God from the public square,' Trump said. For someone who does not follow God's commandments, this is blasphemy to use his name.
How it must feel to be used as a pawn by a president who's corrupt and is just trying to save his own ass. In the end he will turn on everybody to prevent from being held accountable. He'll put his vulnerable supporters in front first, while he sits wayyy behind safe and sound.
Politic-Religion never go together-Same As Religion- Politic.& God Will See All Concerned Receive Their Just Reward-No Person Is an Island -Leave Well Alone-Only One God-& Trump is no Prophet & Using Religion To Benefit Politics-God Will Not Reward you All.

Just what America needs - more religious nutters with power. NOT!
They should be taxed like every other organisation.
MORE BRIBERY
Separation of church and state.....💯🚫
Churches should be taxed. Obviously they are in the business of making huge money for huge houses.
ayatollah trump
I doubt he’s going to get much more support. He’s already sold himself. If they didn’t vote for him before they won’t now.
Separation of church & st...oh just forget it
Me not stolen me alone w/my tweets - which be fine me easy going fun loving to me 🤗🆘🇺🇸 helping till roundworm go to far 🥶🐛🚬
You mean gain access to federal programs and still not have to pay taxes
The new Republican Party. Large Government.
Why?
After Christian groups denounced him.
So much for separation of church and state.
Gotta love more unconstitutionally provisions for an incredible powerful and protected group. And also the group producing the most prolific terrorists in America right now.
realDonaldTrump Mr Trump when was the last time you attended a true church service. You’re only Christen/Jewish/Muslim when it works in your favor for votes. Golf is your religion! You’ve certainly played a lot of on the country’s time.
Can muslims pray too?
🙏🏽 students 🙏🏽 that he’s ImpeachedForever impeachedandremoved
Cool so Muslims can bring their prayer run and pray.
They always had and still do have the right to pray .. But that’s one thing that was never forced on anyone .. So what’s your point exactly?
That's when the moral downfall began, when they stopped prayers in school, combined with the drug epidemic that followed that screwed their brains plus the crap they are now teaching our young in schools harping on past injustices instead of the future
I'm sure we can trust this guy's guidance on prayer:
This is a prime of example or the GOP and Trump keeping their hooks in the narrow-minded, impressionable religious right. Wake up folks.
Completely agree! Students should be able to pray in school just as they always have! Nothing changes! And by the way, there’s never been a war on Christmas!
Human Scim
iheartwestbrook This is idiotic
Taking the country back step by step
Non-issue solved! That’s all they do is tout empty achievements because they don’t have any solutions to real problems.
So Muslims can bring their prayer rugs to school, right?
Are they looking to pray or are they looking to grandstand? Kids have never needed government or the schools to allow them to pray. There are quiet times during the day when anyone can pray as long as they don't disrupt anyone's learning.
Ploy to get Evangelical votes
He's the last person to issue such guidance.
Is DJT “all prayer” inclusive or only Christian prayer?
Good point.
If that’s the case, then Satanists too. Fair is fair.
Students already have the right to pray in school alone or in groups (of other students), so Trump is not really doing anything new but I'd bet his first born, his cult will eat this up like they do everything else he does that has little to no value. Also, DeVoss is wrong.
YOU CAN PRAY IN SCHOOL ALL YOU WANT. JUST PRAY TO YOURSELF.
This is good. Now all forms of prayer will be sccepted. Does this mean there is no more separation of church and state? If do, churches should no longer get the tax exempt.
That's already a thing.... Just trying to get some headlines, I suppose
Uh, you could ALWAYS pray in school, assholes. You just couldn't make everyone ELSE pray to your god.
They already can prat during their moment of silence!
Can't wait to start praying to Moloch!!!!
Means nothing without a change to the law. More hot air for his base.
This from a guy with such a stellar relationship with God (or so he says)
OMG! Trump gave people their freedom of speech! What a hero! If only we had freedom of speech before trump!! If only......
What about those Jewish kids you claim to care about commie
Okay, but all religions, right?
make all the declarations you want, students can pray anytime they want in public schools, this is a sham
The last thing he should be doing is giving ANY guidance.
Go to Catholic school and you can pray
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof... ~Thomas Jefferson
All religions including Islam’s
Yep, one of the top issues he needs to face. There is no war on religious freedom. There are trump’s army of bigots trying to stir up hate and who practice intolerance.
They’re praying someone doesn’t shoot them
If Trump ever went to confession, how much Penance would he have to do just for the 15,000 lies? How many Hail Mary's and Our Father's can one man do?
I expect Pelosi to have special pens made for this occasion. Since she is such a public advocate for prayer...
This guy is reaching out to anyone he thinks will support him..he could care less about you
If they want to, fine. But nobody should be forced to comply with religious 'guidelines' in public schools. And what religion is he pushing, Christian only?
No one prevents people from praying in school. The 1st amendment prohibits the establishment of a state sponsored religion. If students choose to meet and pray, fine. If the administration decided to conduct a Christian Prayer service at an assembly, that is not.
Buddhist chanting and hailing Satan will be allowed as well, then?
Everyone needs to leave this to personal preference. Pray or not, it's nobody's business but your own.
If you want to Pray go to a Religious School! End Of Story😎
I am sorry but the guy is dumb, my opinion.
What rights do the students really have? Can they go and pray now in school without being reprimanded for it?
What the hell does a mob boss know about praying? MobBossTrump TrumpsHenchmen TrumpKnew PenceKnew EverbodyKnew
his guidance means chit
EXCELLENT!
Hail Satan!
Why, he hates children
Now let's hear the leftists squawk about this.
Just idiotic
Good, we’ve gotta pray for those republicans 🙏
We can pray to who or what ever we want to and whenever we want to. Trump does not understand that’s what we do here in The USA. Guess Pimp Daddy Putie does not let them do that in his Mother Russia. GO HOME TRAITOR TRUMPS
Uhhh ohhh!!!! Reaching out to the religious sector hoping for support.
Yeah, well let's see what happens the first time a Muslim student, or Pagan student, or Native American student wants to pray.
Does anyone honestly believe trump gives two shits about this issue other than a pathetic attempt to solidify his Christian base?
That goes for all 4,200 religions worldwide ?
Students have always had the right to pray in school.
I've not known a school that didn't allow it. It's just unlawful to make it required in public schools. But no one tell Trump that. Let him make the mistake on his own.
Ok Muslim kids get to pray as well
Alternate title - President trump just got impeached !
They’ve always had the right to pray, just don’t waste anyone else’s time with it.
And, once again, the Supreme Court will strike it down. We have gone over this a dozen times.
I've worked in schools since the early 90's. Prayer was never banned, we just couldn't force students to participate. Youth for Christ and The Fellowship of Christian Athletes have been in the schools ever since I was attending in the 80's.
'Nine agencies are also set to release proposed rules to ensure religious and non-religious organizations are treated equally by the federal government.' Does this mean churches will start paying taxes?
All he did was update the one from 2003......its not some new, groundbreaking thing.
Yes, because he's such a man of god himself.
What's next? We start feeding Christians to lions again? :)
This seems highly unnecessary.
As long as everyone can pray their way - God, Allah, Buddha, Satan, The Moon Goddess- I’m fine with it.
As long as there are tests in school, children will pray. It is unconstitutional for a public school in the United States of America to be lead in prayer by school staff.
Not against this. Just think they need to respect those who aren’t religious. Don’t need it shoved in their faces. Country needs more respect for each other
Students can already say a prayer in school. This was for show only.
I wouldn’t want these people praying with or for my children. They were taught to pray at home. Teachers are not the same as they were back in the day, some are so evil that’s it’s pathetic
Thoughts and prayers have never worked
