If a Muslim started quoting Koran scripture during board meetings, they will end those board comments in a heartbeat.

Ms. Rooks, allow me to ask this question: What part of "secular government" don't you get? Certainly, you have every right to practice your religion 𝗢𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘. When you are in the halls of government, you ONLY obligation is TO THE LAW. Your devotion to your religious beliefs have as much place in a public school board meeting as your favorite recipe for chocolate cake, probably less so. Your religion is NOT the only religion out there, and as such, school board meeting should not indulge in any form of religious practice or expression.

No, I don't expect her to get this [religious freaks like Rooks never do]. I'm pleased that the Freedom From Religion Foundation has weighed in on the matter, and it's just possible that the threat of legal action, backstopped by the FFRF, may just get the message through.
