Robert Jeffress: Harvey Weinstein The Natural Result Of Removing Prayer From Schools

[Initech]

Last week, President Trump took to his Twitter account to promote a new book by Robert Jeffress, a Dallas pastor and fervent Trump supporter who has a long record of anti-LGBTQ extremism and hostility toward religious minorities, including Mormons and Catholics.

A few days later, Jeffress hosted Fox News personality Sean Hannity at his church’s Sunday service, where he also gave a sermon denouncing the Supreme Court decisions that have allowed for legal abortion and marriage equality and disallowed government-sponsored prayer in schools, which he said will eventually cause the country’s “implosion.”

Jeffress even linked the 1962 Engle v. Vitale decision on school-sponsored prayer to the numerous allegations of sexual assault against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, saying that what Weinstein is alleged to have done was the “natural result” of the nation having “untethered itself from the absolute truths of God’s word” when “secularists” and “infidels” removed state-sponsored prayer from schools.

2. Please tell me, who did prayer in schools. I was 60's-70's west coast and we did not do prayer in

school. Ever. From the youngest of age.

Anyone? And the location. Because it may be only in the south, I do not know.

My father was in the midwest in the 40's-50's and he did not have prayer in school.

11. Though I read about the cases years ago, included the one brought by..

Madelyn Murray O’Hair, what I remember is that school sponsored prayer varied wildly nationwide, from none as you experienced to virtually constant and all day in some parts of the country.

The difference between how the school boards in two states next to each other treated the subject - Indiana and Illinois for instance, was dramatic.

Abington v. Schemp, the case Ms. O’Hair is most known for was from Pennsylvania

12. I have been curious about this for a while.

There is enough on this board to get a good sampling. I think I will start a thread so I have a better idea where and when the prayer was in schools. Thank you for your information.

10. Just ask the Catholic Church!

[MagickMuffin]

13. Perhaps this "preacher" should discuss this with the catholic church

And no telling what goes on in catholic schools.

9. the current POTUS does the exact same things as Weinstein

and the problem is a result of no prayer in public schools?
