Title: Face Mask Dress Codes: I Love Jesus BANNED!
Topic: Christian Discrimination in Public Schools
Discussed by Bruce Hausknecht
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
Face masks have become an unfortunate part of the majority of public
schools across America. Should the designs or phrases on face
masks be subject to the same dress code as t-shirts and other clothing items?
Bruce Hausknecht is the Judicial Analyst at Focus on the Family. Today,
he offers parents advice on how to proactively protect their children’s First
Amendment Rights while attending a public school.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is it common across America for public school officials to allow the Black
Lives Matter T-shirts and face masks while not allowing masks with
Christian or patriotic sayings?
Do our children and grandchildren have the First Amendment Right to display a
religious and/or patriotic saying on their outer clothing?
Has the American society become increasingly hostile to Christians and
Conservatives in recent years?
Side Bar: Are Supreme Court Justices permitted to speak in public about past
cases? There is some confusion about this, so listen closely…
What rights do our children and grandchildren have? What should we do if we
believe their rights have been violated?
What conversations should we have with our kids and grandkids about their
constitutional rights while attending public schools?

Title: New Guidelines on Religious Freedom in Public Schools
Topic: Christian Discrimination in Public Schools
Discussed by Eric Buehrer
with Gateways to Better Education www.GoGateways.org
Many people believe President Obama and his Administration went beyond their power and legal authority to hinder religious freedom in public schools.
Eric Buehrer, the President of Gateways to Better Education, has some great news. President Trump is changing that!
Questions/Issues Discussed:
By law, is the US Department of Education required to update their guidance on Constitutionally protected prayer and other activities in public elementary and secondary schools every two years?
Is this a clear indication that sometimes unelected bureaucrats run amok?
Do the new guidelines only affect student prayer? Or do they cover other issues more broadly?
Did President Trump take the ‘bull by the horns’ to get this accomplished?
Can a student pray over their own meal in the lunchroom?
Can a religious club, whether they meet on or off campus, distribute religious literature?
If a school allows students to wear t-shirts with writing on them, can a student wear a Trump or religious t-shirt?
If a teacher assigns a project to deliver in class, can a student report on religious/moral issues?
Gateways for Better Education is looking for local advocates across the
country to help spread the positive message of religious freedom in public
schools. If you are interested, click
