New: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said after the shooting in El Paso, "on Sunday, everyone was going to church in America, praying about this, and the next day when their kids went to school, they weren’t allowed to pray or bring it up."
That's False.

Yes, #SCOTUS ruled that school-sponsored prayer, even nondenominational prayer, violates 1st amend.
But the decision does NOT prohibit prayer or religious expression at school.
In TX, schools must have daily 1 min moment of silence where students can pray.
Also, there is no policy prohibiting the discussion of current events in school — including mass shootings. Even if teach doesn't mention it in class, students are free to discuss in one-on-one conversations with teachers, school counselors or w other students.
In Louisiana, the legislature just passed a law mandating that _public_ schools post "IN GOD WE TRUST" at their entrances. Which isn't as big a win as you'd think, considering that there are hardly any public schools left because of voucher programs replacing them with charters.
They did it in Florida too, and I’m wondering which Goddess they Trust.
Its not just false in Texas. Its false everywhere. And they know it. More real solutions for non-existent problems.
Dan Patrick never misses a chance to lie and be divisive.
He tried to divide us after the terrible, tragic 2016 mass shooting of Dallas police officers, too.
"everyone was going to church"? Talk about living in a bubble.
