This should be absurdly unconstitutional on the face of it, but with our new and improved hard right Christo-fascist Supreme Court, who knows. Conservative Christians can NEVER stop trying to mark their territory in the public schools paid for with everyone's tax dollars.

The chaplains do not need to be licensed, will they be subject to background checks? And will the background checks be thorough enough to catch the preachers and pastor’s whoa have groomed entire congregations while molesting the children in their care? You know, the ones who admit on stage in church to the entire congregation that they had a sexual relationship with a minor and get standing ovations rather than handcuffs. The ones who have convinced all the adults who ought to be protecting their children that the sexual advances are just god’s love so they don’t end up charged with statutory rape. Maybe the ones who married the, technically legal with parental permission, child when she became pregnant, should not be in schools with unfettered and unmonitored access to underage children.

That’s only one red flag I see that Hemant didn’t bring up in the article.
