2016 AL Senate race: on Education


Marcus Bowman: Be mature enough to allow school prayer

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy, "Keep God in the public sphere"

A: Strongly support. The 1st Amendment states that while there should be no law establishing religion there also should be no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Thus should folks want to pray before a meeting or at school we should all be mature enough to live and let live.
