President Donald Trump said the Department of Education will issue new guidance to protect the right to prayer in public schools, framing the move as part of a broader return to faith and foundational values in the United States. Speaking publicly, Trump emphasized that America’s core rights come from God, not the government. “We are endowed with our sacred rights to life, liberty, and not by government, but by God Almighty Himself,” he said.
Trump contrasted his language with that of other political leaders, saying, “Some major politicians refuse to say the word God. They don’t want to say it. I say it.” He pointed to the Declaration of Independence as a moral and spiritual cornerstone, calling it “a true, brilliant work of art,” and said its principles have “stirred the spirit of patriots in every nation, liberated millions from tyranny, and lifted billions from poverty.”
Alongside the prayer announcement, Trump highlighted what he described as the largest expansion of school choice, arguing that it allows parents to send their children to schools that reflect their values. “Today I’m also pleased to announce that the Department of Education is officially issuing its new guidance to protect the right to prayer in our public schools,” he said, adding, “That’s a big deal.”
Supporters reacted online by calling the announcement a sign that “America is returning to Christ,” with the remarks drawing widespread attention across social media.
