Kentucky’s House of Representatives passed a bill, HB 40, to call on Kentuckians, including students, to pray on a “Day of Prayer for Kentucky’s Students.”

Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who made national news in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, reappeared in the news recently when she announced that she will seek re-election next year.

Politicians like to lament the supposed lack of prayer in schools and blame society’s ills on this purported void.
