Georgia state representative Rev. Sharon Henderson (D-House District 113) has introduced a bill to mandate school prayer. The bill would also repeal any act or portion of an act which conflicts with her bill if passed.

She assumed office January 11 of this year. She had no challenger in 2020 and received 100% of the vote. The district is primarily rural around the town of Portersdale, and includes part of Covington.

The prayer is very specific in the bill.

We pray for all students, teachers, and staff who work here.
We give You all the children who study here.
We pray our school will be a safe place to learn great skills and talents.
May this be a place where we love to learn and a place where we learn to love,
A place where everyone is respected and all are deeply valued.
Bless us to maintain good health and protect us from evil.
We ask these blessings through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Fuqueyoo Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, or anyone else who is not the specific type of Christian Rep. Henderson envisions in Georgia public schools.

This bill is wildly unconstitutional, but with the wingnuts going to the courts trying to overturn bans on mandatory school prayer, who knows what happens.

With Democrats like her, who needs Republican theocrats? (Narrator: We have plenty of people in our party who think you can’t be American if you’re not Christian either, but we usually don’t elect them.)
