“Given all that our students are facing,” notes the bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Regina Huff, “[they] need to know that we are standing with them. We all need to embrace this and be united in an effort of support in each individual’s manner of prayer for our schools, students and administrators.”

It’s not clear what “all that our students are facing,” denotes, but whether Huff was referring to drugs or active shooters or pregnancy or bullies, prayers are not going to help students face any of them any better.
