    "At a West Virginia public high school, a 16 year old student and his classmates were told by their teacher to go to an evangelical Christian revival assembly. When students arrived at the event in the school’s auditorium, they were instructed to close their eyes and raise their arms in prayer. The teens were asked to give their lives over to Jesus to find purpose and salvation. Those who did not follow the Bible would go to hell when they died, they were told." Public schools are extensions of the government. This is clearly a violation of the first clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which embodies the separation of church and state. Faculty, staff, or employees of any government body cannot endorse, favor, or sponsor any religion. T or F.

    "Two former employees of a North Carolina contracting company who say there were fired for refusing to take part in the firm’s daily “cult-like” Christian prayer meetings have filed a federal discrimination lawsuit. John McGaha and Mackenzie Saunders said in a lawsuit filed June 27, 2022 that the owner of Aurora Pro Services “created a hostile work environment, based on religion,” and openly threatened to fire workers who didn't attend the sessions. “You have to participate,” the owner said, according to McGaha in the lawsuit. “If you do not participate, that is okay, you don’t have to work here. You are getting paid to be here.” This is clearly a blatant violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. “Federal law protects employees from having to choose between their sincerely held religious beliefs and their jobs.” T or F.
