a state senator
republican senator
in indiana is doing well turns out the uh... he has
introduced the bill
or the rope
the indiana republican party
has introduced a bill
that would require
the lord's prayer
to be said in indiana schools
so the bill would give public school districts the authority to mandate
bailey recital issues of the lord's prayer
in public classrooms
let me read you their quote quote inorder bet each do not recognize the
importance of spiritual development in establishing character
and becoming a good citizen
the governing body of the school corporation or the equivalent according
of a charter school may require the recycling shin
of the lord's prayer at the beginning
schoolday
well first of all no
just no
uh...
look at the first sense they're in their quote
this is the official statement from the
indiana republican party
qu in order to that houston and recognize the importance of spiritual
development in establishing character and becoming a good citizen
very
well let me know mean
i got news for you
i mean god bless your heart if you believe in a spirit for a soul or
something like that but in reality these are just have a good word that people
use and there's no evidence of either one of those things actually being a
real
tangible thing
and furthermore
there's millions of people in the world
that don't pray and don't believe in a spirit or a soul
they are happy and and productive and well-adjusted and fulfillment totally
normal lives
and the biggest point
is that these is it
a debatable issue if you believe in school prayer
look i'd love you guys but it's not a constitutional pure and simple
it's the clearest violation of the establishment clause that you can
possibly have the supreme court has heard of multiple cases on this
and the ruled unequivocally that it's illegal and unconstitutional
it's always astonishing to me
the republicans who always named dropped the constitution all the time when is
the second amendment
when the tenth amendment ju st right right i lost my slides and i remembered
i have to have that
it's amazing that they always names out those two amendments and how well they
know what's in the rest of the constitution
republicans have now i think there once in the rest of the constitution
this is like at the democrat
proposed the bill
in one of the state legislatures saying pay you let's sensor that and band rush
limbaugh from our state
the right wing would mean alarms no no i'm talking constant social on american
idol
burial
but where are accounted state senator proposes people we are in constitutional
piece of legislation
delegating as that
that iowa will hear that bill on thursday totally uh... bob is a is
preventing a bill
to uh... you know make us reenact their *** the crucifixion jesus in in
school
i mean come on guys pick up the constitution read it
looking for those of you
may not know
there is an ounce of the constitutionality and why it's
unconstitutional
but let me explain for you guys because it's actually very simple so part of the
first amendment is this thing called the establishment clause which the founders
laid out very simply
we're not going to have an establishment of religion
in any way shape or form the state and religion have to be separated from each
other
uh... if you want a religious if you wanna pray if u wanna have
your own church or whatever fiji one you are practicing freely in your own home
an aide by all means go right ahead
have at it
but officially government-sanctioned entities
like a public school
can have it can have prayer can have religion ex-senator
so the reasoning behind that is the founders are
there was religious persecution
and that is one of the main reasons why
the u_s_ was founded so we realized hey wait a second
why don't we
a system
that allows people to believe whatever they want to practice however they want
actually i know if they show state religion
animated or listen to the world and to this day was still arpa revolutionary
idea so when you say all let's say the lord's prayer in school
i meet you have to realize what that does is that a lien aids
angry other kind of person in their beliefs
so when you're gonna start the day by saying
the lord's prayer and then move on to uh... uh... jewish prayer and then move
on to
a hindu prayer and then move on to you
talking about how great buddha was and then talk about
of muslims and islam and muhammad
and then move on to the talking about worshipping the flying spaghetti monster
or talking about agnostic saying all right let's have a moment science turn
to reflect on on human reason and intelligence and logic no you can't do
it you can't do it you can't do it
it is the exact opposite of the principles
that this country
was founded on but leave it to a of backwoods indiana
state senator who's a republican to know nothing about any of that just attack
alag jesus hair
hair by but not all that happened prior to begin a national unity
this is what we call these guys the americans element and they wanted they
want to have this statement jealous of the kind
the kind of governments around the world
beck and willy nilly implement
religious laws
and and they want to be at the opera c
very plainly there that this in the definition of wanting to be at the opera
c
so you know the deeper radiant clerics
and uh... to religious saudi leaders that
that implements that was
i mean these people in the republican party the far right of the republican
party
they are a lot more in common and they want to pretend that they do
