to 'reflect (on what a dumbass he is) and be able to pray as they see fit'


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law this week that requires schools to hold daily moments of silence for students.

"It's important to be able to provide each student the ability every day to reflect and be able to pray as they see fit," DeSantis said before signing the bill, according to CNN.

Though the law doesn't mandate prayer, DeSantis used religious terms at the bill's signing, railing against "the idea that you can just push God out of every institution and be successful."

"I'm sorry, our founding fathers did not believe that," DeSantis added.

Most of our founding fathers were deists you stupid fuck. Look it up.

1. RW American Sharia

If DeSantis could force every school child in Florida to bow and pray in the direction of the governor's mansion five times a day I'm sure he would.

7. My first reaction was that..

Sharia law by those who preach about less government by a wanna be autocratic little man.

2. De Satan is just stupid enough....

to be the next republican presidential nominee. Yes he is. He's got "stupid" written all over him, but that seems to be what it takes to succeed in republican politics these days.

3. Kids will use that time to make farting noises and laugh

[Ilsa]

4. Can students roll out prayer rugs, or do other "physical" stuff?

How far can they take it before the lawyers show up?

And this is the only crap that gets done in republican governments.

5. Is that the full curriculum?

[EndlessWire]

6. Separation of church and state...

And this is totally useless...I'd spend my time praying that my favorite team would win something. I'd get a sports rug and lay it out, and start praying away...Can they get in trouble if they prayed for the demise of the Repub Party? See, this could go any way you want.

So stupid...

8. We had a moment of silence when I was a kid. I don't remember praying during it

In fact, I never understood what the fuck I was suppose to do during it. It's mostly one hundred percent pointless.

9. We already have that shit in Texas

It's prayer time under the guise of "silence."

10. just for students or also for staff (violating their religious rights too) nt

11. As an ex-teacher in CA and as a passive aggressive

employee I would definitely be creative and not allow this to occur in my classroom. I could be very clever and discreet and get around a lot of this required BS.

When Clinton and Obama were the POTUS my students knew who they were when we celebrated Presidents' Day. When Bush was POTUS my kids had no idea who the current POTUS was, unless they walked in the office and saw his photo on the wall (they were clueless being 1st graders).

12. PREACH, Ronnie.

13. DeSantis is a fool to frame this "push God out of" rhetoric.

That can bite him on the butt in an appeal.

On the other hand, he doesn't give a rip about schools, prayers, or God.

He's just making political points for his base.

[Mariana]

15. "He's just making political points for his base."

Yes, exactly. Does he ever do anything else?

Anyway, if this does get struck down, he can then frame it as persecution of Christians by the courts. The preachers will cast him as a hero of the faith, and his Christian supporters will come out in droves to cast their ballots for him.

[Midnight Writer]

16. Yeah, on second thought he has it all figured out. He's not as stupid as he appears.

[spanone]

14. Won't mandate a mask but he mandates moments of silence

he's dangerous as they come.

[bearsfootball516]

17. Yeah, he's running in 2024.

[XanaDUer2]

18. People can pray all day if they want

why have a moment of silence. He definitely means prayer
