In Florida’s Okaloosa County School District, the same place where a teacher led her students in Christian prayer during class time earlier this month, the School Board held a meeting last night to discuss whether they would continue holding prayers at the beginning of meetings. (Spoiler: Those prayers are illegal.)

According to David Suhor, an atheist who attended the meeting, the result was a 3-2 vote in favor of keeping the prayers in place. You can see what some of the public comments were like right here.

But more than anything, you have to check out this video from the event. Keep in mind this was taken at a school board meeting, not a Christian revival.

These people don’t care about education. They just want to score brownie points with a God who only listens to prayers, apparently, if you scream them out loud.

4. Very disturbing.

I don't want to live in a Christian Theocracy.

I don't want to live in any Theocracy.

Knowledge is power.

The dumbing down under the guise of 'religious freedom' continues.

They can pray in their homes 24/7.

They can pray in the homes of their religious family members 24/7.

They can pray in the homes of their religious friends 24/7.

They can pray in their houses of worship 24/7.

They can pray in their religious institutions 24/7.

They can bow their heads and pray in silence in public 24/7.

Why do they insist on involving everyone ???

Don't they realize how intrusive they are ???

10. It's like they collect a "bird dog" fee for each person they convert.

5. Morons all. Absolute blithering, clinical morons.

This country may well go down into a sinkhole of greed and the basest, dumbest religulous superstition imaginable.

6. Turn or burn

7. Matthew 6:5

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward."

8. Good dog, are they insane? nt

11. who wants to

start going into their churches and teach science and history?

13. This is exactly why when we go to the polls we need to be

just as interested in the school board as the president. You have to have people who will enforce the laws at the local levels if you want change.

The Rs have learned that long ago.

14. why don't these maggots pray for a clue

[11 Bravo]

15. I'm a Christian.

Those people are wrong. Furthermore, they are breaking the law. They also may be fucking nuts.
