Found article while digging images for memes. Obviously POTUS' EO on religious liberty would be helpful to a sincere student like this one who feels moved to share his faith outside of instructional period at school.

NOT notable, it's a 2014 article

High school student: I’ve been suspended 3 times for preaching, handing out Bible tracts

November 19, 2014

 

EVERETT, Wash. — Michael Leal says he preaches the message from the gospel and hands out Bible tracts every day at his high school — actions that allegedly got him suspended three times in one month.

 

“Lately it’s been outside, maybe a few times inside, it really depends on where I’m at and where the people are at, as well,” Leal said Wednesday.

 

The senior at Cascade High School in Everett says he was suspended three times in the month of October for preaching and handing out Bible tracts during school hours on school grounds.

 

“It’s usually during quiet time, self time, time for yourself, or lunch, after school, before school, stuff like that. I never try to do it to disrupt the school schedule at all,” Leal said.

After the first suspension, Leal said he contacted an attorney to send the school district a different message.

"Students don't leave their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse door," said Conrad Reynolds, Leal's attorney.

Leal said other students complained and that’s what led to his suspension.

"That's what really started it all right there, just kids complaining, 'He's preaching, we don't want to hear it, it's offending us, it's upsetting us,'" Leal said.

Reynolds said this is a violation of Leal's constitutional rights, saying the student should be allowed to hand out religious pamphlets and preach at school in the halls or the lunchroom if he chooses.

The Everett School District confirmed it did receive a lawsuit from Leal's attorney Wednesday, but refused to comment on Leal's suspensions or on the details of the suit.

"We believe really strongly that if any point of view is restricted, then that hurts everyone's free speech," Reynolds said.

The lawyer said he hopes to change the school policy when it comes to handing out literature.

In the meantime, Leal hopes his message is getting across.

"I feel my rights were being impinged to speak and to express what I believe in," Leal said.

What we do requires a lot of focus and dedication. We believe that President Trump is right, we support him, we dig meme and pray in this effort. It takes tremendous dedication to be here every day and ignore the shills while performing many detailed tasks to advance this cause. The Q Anon cyber militia, although most are non-military, approaches our task with the same professionalism and grit as a soldier, marine or airman. We are not willing to stand down or quit until the battle is won.

Trump is going to help them figure it out, by withholding Federal funding to public schools if they cannot prove they have a policy that protects 1st amendment rights of students & staff.

 

I need to make one about the withholding of Federal funding.

 

Quoting:

 

The Trump Administration is taking action to further safeguard students’ constitutionally protected right to pray in school.

President Trump is updating Federal guidance regarding protected prayer and religious expression in public schools, which has not been issued since 2003.

The update will help safeguard students’ rights by giving education providers and students the most current information concerning prayer in public schools.

To receive Federal funds, local educational agencies must confirm that their policies do not prevent or interfere with the constitutionally-protected rights outlined in the guidance.

The updated guidance will help improve individuals’ ability to file a complaint if they are denied the ability to participate in protected religious expression.

The new guidance makes clear that students can read religious texts or pray during recess and other non-instructional periods, organize prayer groups, and express their religious beliefs in their assignments.
