Kind of interesting to note is that most of these rulings regarding religion accommodation, migrant detention, and the like were issued by judges appointed by Obozo!

From 2007: New York City†s school chancellor wants an Islamic public school... https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/...lic_school- The New York City Department of Education approved a proposal to open a publicly funded Muslim school. The school will immerse its students in Islamic culture and has three fundamentalist Islamist imams on its Board of Advisors.
- New York City School Chancellor, Joel Klein, who is aggressively promoting this Islamic school, also refused to allow two Christian students to display a Nativity Christmas.
- The groupâ€s founder and chairman publicly stated in 1998: “Islam isnâ€t in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Quaran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.â€
- Imam Talib Abdul-Rashid of the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood is on the schoolâ€s advisory board. The Muslim Brotherhood website contains the ominous slogan: "The Quâ€ran is our constitution/Jihad is our way/And death in the way of Allah is our promised end."

Offering a prayer at graduation is not teaching religion anymore than having the national anthem played before a game is inculcating fans to support only the US if there just happens to be foreigners there.
And a school board is not breaking any federal law. There is no law against prayer.
Again, this is a local matter and doesn't involve any federal court in the least.  Let the locals take care of their own.

University of Michigan-Dearborn... the sinks pulling away from the walls, the problem was easy to pinpoint. On this campus, more than 10 percent of the students are Muslims, and as part of ritual ablutions required before their five-times-a-day prayers, some were washing their feet in the sinks. The solution seemed straightforward. After discussions with the Muslim Students†Association, the university announced that it would install $25,000 foot-washing stations in several restrooms.
A Muslim student at Minneapolis Community and Technical College slipped and hurt herself while washing her feet in a sink, word got out there that the college was considering installing a footbath, and a local columnist accused the college of a double standard — stopping a campus coffee cart from playing Christmas music but taking a different attitude toward Islam. LOl, foot washing stations, How much you want to bet the ones in the boys room are being used as additional Urinals by the 90% of the Student population who aren't Muslim.

The muslim public school clearly didn't happen. No way that would pass muster of course. And we are happy about that aren't we?
The meal thing isn't really a problem for me. They're offering kosher and halal because 38% of their students follow those diets. I see it as more cultural. Where it would be a problem to me is if a school went kosher or halal. There's a quite a difference there between that and having to school pushing a religion. The religion of the majority.

Problem with that argument is for 150 years the Jewish Population never got the same respect or treatment in schools for their culture .

I'd surmise many who made it to graduated already prayed.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

What would constitute a public school pushing a religion?
Nevertheless, you're now rationalizing religious accommodations as "cultural". Using the same "cultural logic" in the classroom, tenets of faith should be taught vs just the history behind the religions whether Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, etc etc etc.
For the record, NYC did not have legislation to satisfy the religious dietary requirements of non-Muslims... until the pilot program to provide Kosher meals was introduced in 2018 despite New York†s historically large Jewish population.

Liberals are hypocrites and they caved to the muslims after ignoring the Jews. No surprise. But to me it would be a problem if they said Halal is what you get regardless of who you are. If they're going to feed the kids accommodation for religious restrictions, allergies, choice like vegan seems reasonable. Personally I'd prefer parents feed their kids not the schools.Â
Sorry but it isn't comparable to the school sponsoring prayer.Â
Look it's settled law. It's over. It's been over for a long time. No school prayer end of story. Quit whining about it it's tiresome.
