It’s a good thing for a public school to remain secular and neutral in regards to religion. Not everyone shares the same belief as each other. The courts decided this a long time ago, and it applies to public school staff not being legally able to advance a religious view. If you were jewish, you probably would not appreciate a teacher advancing their christian belief on your child, and vice versa. The same can be said of any other religious belief, that you do not share, being advanced in a public school.
It does not, however, prohibit students from forming clubs (which they do), or pray (silently without disturbing others). It is a sad take on it when people intentionally misconstrue the law. When done unintentionally, it just demonstrates their ignorance.
Because things were so much better back in the day, when school staff could lead the entire school body in a mandatory prayer. And if you weren’t Christian (or GASP non-religious), you’d better put your head down and fake it. Conform, child!

So according to the guidelines, what SHOULD be used instead of “he/him” and “she/her”? “They/them”?
