Gov. Ron DeSantis: New Law Will Let Public School Students ‘Pray As They See Fit’

June 16, 2021 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) Florida governor Ron DeSantis has signed into law a bill requiring public school teachers in grades K-12 to observe at least one minute of silence at the beginning of the first class period of every day. 

“The idea that you can just push God out of every institution and be successful, I’m sorry, our founding fathers did not believe that,” said DeSantis, speaking at a news conference at Shul of Bal Harbour in Surfside, Fla. “We have an opportunity here to really protect the religious freedom of everybody who’s going to school K-12 in the state of Florida and we’re really proud of that.”
