Trump criticizes liberals’ ‘growing totalitarian impulse’ as he vows to protect school prayer
‘The government must never stand between the people and God,’ Trump said as he promised to protect the First Amendment and the rights of students to pray in school.
As he spoke, the president was surrounded by religious leaders who had joined him in the Oval Office on National Religious Freedom Day.
It is a “sacred principle in our republic that government must never stand between the people and God,” said President Trump. “Yet in public schools around the country authorities are stopping students and teachers from praying, sharing their faith, or following their religious beliefs.”
