Seriously Mississippi?



So the hump-back, hump-back, I state has mandated that prayer be put into schools. Seriously?

With most schools starting back in the next couple of weeks, I think this topic is one that needs addressed. On March 6, 2013 Governor Phil Bryant signed a bill that forces public schools to make policies on student-led prayers over the intercom systems of each school.

Despite America being a melting pot of all  Creeds, races, and nationalities, Mississippi only sees one category, White and Christian.

FUN FACT: In Mississippi, the KKK can burn a cross on a person of color's lawn and the max prison time they serve is 10 years.

So, if you are a free thinker, Buddhist, Agnostic, Muslim, or Sikh, Mississippi is going to give you the finger and deny you the civil liberties you deserve. This is the US, isn't it? We have a constitution, and in that constitution we have a Bill of Rights, in that Bill of Rights we have the first amendment. In that first amendment, we have Religious Freedom for all, not just different Christian groups, but all Creeds.
