I was under the impression the religious observances were not legal or welcome in public schools. So why would a public school district spend taxpayer money to install a Muslim prayer room in a public school? How is the anti religion in public left not freaking out over this?
We know why, but they won’t admit it

Religion in schools:

Which way do you want it? Posting Ten Commandments in schools is okay AND Muslim footwashing rooms are okay OR that neither should be allowed?
Myself, I lean towards NOT spending tax payer money (and authority) to put specifically religious stuff into schools, but IF you're going to allow it for one religion, then all religions should be treated in a similar way.
Since I can't find news stories related to your suggestion about muslim prayer rooms (or whatever), I'll withhold judgment until there are, you know, actual news and data to talk about, as opposed to speculation and social media hubbub. As I'm wont to do. The stories about placing specifically Christian religious education and stuff in the public arena ARE in the news, though, so we know that's happening.
Myself, I find it hard to imagine that, in tough economic times for schools, that public funds are being used for such stuff, but maybe so. All I know is that I can't find any public news stories about it to confirm the rumor.
How about you... do you lean towards, "YES, I'm okay with ANY and all religious stuff being placed in public spaces with public dollars...?" OR, "Only MY specific religious tradition should be supported with public dollars...?" OR, "No, we should not use public funds to promote ANY specific religion, not even mine..."?
I’m on the side of consistency. If they’re going to build specific Muslim only religious spaces in public schools, then put Christian chapels in as well.
If Christian prayer has been effectively banned in public schools for years, then intentionally building spaces for Muslim prayer shouldn’t even be considered.
But whatever. The link I posted was to an alternative news source, but you limit yourself however you want.
That the 10 commandments span multiple religions, and form a basis for much of Western law, I’m not too upset either way.

So, to be consistent, then, IF the school has posted the Ten Commandments, then if some Satanists want to post an inverted cross, you'd support that, as well?
Or, are you truly on the side of consistency AND suggesting we not put any religious symbols up to promote one specific religion or set of religions?
I suspect this is not a real story with factual details, fyi. IF it were an actual story, there would be news coverage of it from actual sources.
I’m pretty sure Satanists don’t consider themselves a religion, but the inverted cross and the normal cross aren’t the same symbol.
That you arbitrarily decide what news sources you accept isn’t my problem.
It broke this morning so we’ll see what the local news does.
You're not answering the question. Do you support putting ALL religious/philosophical trinkets in public spaces if we're going to allow Judeo-Christian trinkets and shrines? Do you support Satanist rituals in classrooms if we're going to allow teachers to lead prayers in classrooms?
Or do you think we'd be better off leaving all such Top Down religious teachings and trinkets out of classrooms?*
*Noting that students and informal religious whatnots are already allowed because who can stop someone from praying or wearing a cross - upright or inverted?
Or do you think we should just avoid
I did answer the question. Your side has been against anything religious in schools or government. If that’s how y’all want it, be consistent. Don’t be anti one and pro another. Especially when it means expending taxpayer money for a space that is designed to exclude.
