HR 5 was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 17, 2019. It is up to the U.S. Senate to now deliberate on its possible passage.

I got to a scheduled prayer event at Chula Vista City Hall a little late—parking was tight. This time of prayer was in response to the Drag Queen Story Hour occurring across the street.
What happens when a road sign declares a “School Prayer Zone”? Well, it certainly stirs a reaction. Consider the online blog of self-identified atheist Hement Menta (Aug. 6) regarding that marker appearing on a street near Richland County schools in South Carolina.
