President Donald Trump announced the latest steps his administration is taking to protect the right to pray in schools across the nation.Trump pointed out the tremendous, and often underreported, anti-Christian bias that has become commonplace in American schools during a speech Monday at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. In order to protect millions of Christians across the country, Trump announced that his Department of Education will soon issue a new guidance to protect prayer in public schools. 'I know what you went through.'"For most of our country's history, the Bible was found in every classroom in the nation," Trump said. "Yet in many schools today, students are instead indoctrinated with anti-religious propaganda, and some are even punished for their religious beliefs.""It's ridiculous," Trump added.
