Prayer-Mocking Trump Orders More Prayer in Schools

President Donald Trump spent part of his day mocking prayer—and then ordered public schools to do more of it.

As the president attended a breakfast in Washington on Thursday—where he joked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s tendency to pray before meals—the education department issued new guidelines urging students to pray in public schools as a condition of federal funding.
