School Shootings are not the result of "Banning God from schools"

The Supreme Court never ruled that God was banned from schools or classrooms. What they did rule in 1962 was, "Government-directed prayer in public schools violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment". That means to be fair to all religions, the faculty can not lead or force the students into prayers.

Anyone is allowed to pray in schools in the United States, as long as it is not officially sponsored by the school and it does not disrupt others from doing their work. During graduation ceremonies a prayer could be in a student’s speech as long as it is deemed to not be school-sponsored or endorsed by the school. It's that student's First Amendment Right to Free Speech.

So, please stop with all the lies. God and prayers were never banned from schools. Since students can pray whenever they want, then they can invoke Him at any time. Yet, shootings still happen. Probably because that's not the reason people have to go shoot their schools. If they didn't have access to military weapons, then we woudn't have mass shootings every 60 hours.
