DAVID MARCUS: Forgive me, but I was wrong about school prayer
Fox News contributor Jonathan Morris and Pastor Robert Jeffress react to the president unveiling new guidance on public school prayer. The battle over prayer in school is raging in Texas right now, with Attorney General Ken Paxton vowing to defend any school district that introduces the controversial practice under a recent state law expanding religious expression in education. For the entirety of my life, and I'm old, the prohibition on public school-sponsored prayer seemed like settled Constitutional science, owing to a 1962 Supreme Court decision barring what had previously been a widespread and normal practice. In the past, I agreed with this form of separation of church and state. For me it was almost a question of better safe than sorry regarding the rights of minority religions, and importantly, I believed that Christian moral values were so ingrained in our culture that 30 seconds a day of praying could be forsaken.
