Christian kids can have all the prayer groups they want. No one stops them. The school cannot sponsor the groups, nor promote them. But kids can pray, and even have prayer groups. My school certainly did.
Let me know when they build Christian Chapel's in public schools.
And discrimination is unfavorable treatment. It's not unfavorable treatment for the school to NOT provide something that is not needed, not wanted, not asked for.
I would like to see evidence of publicly-funded Christian Chapels similarly provided in those public schools, too.
Muslim footbaths, lol.
Ground level washbasins that Muslims can wash their feet in, and soccer players can wash their balls, and people can fill pails of water, etc. The washbasins aren't for the exclusive use of anyone, they can be used by everyone. So they aren't any more Muslim than the water coming from the faucets.
Yes, they did. They neither needed, wanted, or requested a prayer room according to the quoted school board member.
Um, no.
The students didn't request a prayer room. They didn't get a prayer room, either. The school board decided that the student body didn't need to have their day disrupted by students in prayer, and so set aside a vacant room for the praying students to use, for approximately TEN MINUTES each day. To accommodate....wait for it....the student body and their right to an education without distraction or disruption.
Yes, they did. They neither needed, wanted, or requested a prayer room according to the quoted school board member.
4 Muslim students approached school officials and REQUESTED an accommodation to pray for Salat. Accommodation was granted in the form of the use of an otherwise vacant room 10 minutes each day at the time of Salat.
Where is your proof that the accommodation was unrequested?

It is when they provide such for Muslims but not for those of any other religion.

Please provide an official school endorsement of and an official record of any such uses.
Let's see it documented by the public universities in which soccer players wash their balls, etc., in Muslim foot baths.

Indeed, they did, according to the quoted school board member.
