The CBS Local reports that a School bus driver George Nathaniel III was fired last week for inviting the children on his routes to pray with him each morning, despite being repeatedly asked by his company to stop.



He prayed on the bus as he is a pastor at Elite Church of the First Born and Grace Missionary Baptist Church in Minneapolis.He explained the specific nature of the bus prayers and insisted that he was not coercing students into religious observance. “We start out with a song,” he said. “Then each person will pray if they want to pray. If they don’t want to pray, they don’t have to pray. Then I will pray and ask them if they want to join me in prayer. Just give them something constructive and positive to go to school with.”


Nathaniel sought to emphasize his right to freedom of religion, stating, "They are trying to take away every right the Christian has to express our Christian belief in this supposed to have been Christian nation."


He has since being fired from his Job after several complaints from the school district of Burnsville, Minnesota to his employers, Durham School Services.


What baffles me is that they seem to pass every bill pursing the Gay rights but fail to acknowledge that everyone still has a right to his Christian faith. The campaign is against everything with a christian link. I wonder why they still pray at the swearing in of the President. Just maybe in the nearest future that would be abolished. I weep for America.
