President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Department of Education has issued updated guidance to “protect the right to prayer” in American public schools. The guidance clarifies that students and staff have the constitutional right to privately pray and express their religious beliefs in schools—as long as schools themselves do not sponsor or coerce prayer. While supporters say it restores religious liberty for students, critics warn it could blur the line between church and state. The policy stops short of “mandating prayer” but emphasizes expanding and safeguarding freedom of religious expression at school.
