Announcing that “God’s reach does not stop at the schoolhouse gates,” U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has confirmed plans to introduce his “National Prayer in School Act.”
The bill, little more than one paragraph, confirms that anyone who limits another person’s “ability to engage in prayer” shall be liable “in an action at law.”
The Daily Caller reports it first obtained a copy of the legislation, and Gaetz said he would introduce the proposal on Friday.
The report said he explained it will allow students and staff to pray in school without fear of negative consequences
The report said his plan specifically would enforce the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in favor of religious freedom.
The court sided with a football coach, Joe Kennedy, who was fired by his school district in Washington state for using his First Amendment right to pray after games. Kennedy has been restored to his coaching position now, and plans to be on the field, praying, after games this fall.
