SCOTUS: School officials can pray publicly in public schools

42. Here's an example of what they're doing in AZ. I received it from AZ SOS.

BEGIN ARTICLE:

Despite furious opposition, in the final hours of the final day of session, the Arizona Legislature defied Arizona voters by approving largest-in-the-nation voucher expansion bill HB2853 after stripping even the most basic accountability from the bill.

Lawmakers succeeded only in adding money to the top of our education funding bucket while drilling massive holes in the bottom: the mammoth expense of expanding private school vouchers to every child in the state will siphon away all of this year's extra funding for schools and more. In the words of Rep. Lorenzo Sierra (D-19), "Why don't we just get a big toilet and flush all that money down it?"

With Reps. Michelle Udall, Joel John and Joanne Osborne flipping after years of opposition, the bill awaits Gov. Ducey's signature. Arizona now stands a hair's breadth away from first-in-the-nation universal vouchers — the longtime dream of the Goldwater Institute, DeVos' American Federation for Children, and the entire Koch machine.

Make no mistake: these legislators are bought and paid for. It is up to US to push back using every means at our disposal. Stay tuned—democracy needs all of us.
