A five-year-old girl in Florida was rebuked by a lunchroom worker for praying in her elementary school cafeteria before her meal, it was reported in April.
Marcos Perez, the child’s father, has hired lawyers to demand, as stated in a letter to the school, that they stop ‘engaging in such religious discrimination’. The letter from the Liberty Institute Lawyers explains that the child bowed her head in prayer, but was told by a lunchroom supervisor to stop.
The girl said: ‘But it’s good to pray’, to which the supervisor responded: ‘It is not good’. When the girl tried again to bow her head and pray silently, she was stopped again.
