She was praying in a restaurant so that she would be seen by men. Totally different.

I really wish people would quote that verse at these fools.

First off, there was a problem with you link, here is a correct one.

As to your confusion about how this ended up on Fox news, the problem is that you are reading the article from a liberal perspective as a condemnation of these “parent’s rights” groups. But a MAGA reader will read it as a condemnation of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which are so anti-white that they are calling any parent who is interested in preventing their child from being indoctrinated into the liberal agenda a racist,

Well, if she was kneeling in the aisle between tables and refusing to let diners and waiters by, I can see her eventually getting kicked out for that.

Granted that my religious education in the 1950s was Catholic rather than Christian, we were taught simply to bow our heads when giving thanks. I still tend to do this — even though I forgot the prayer(s) decades ago — because I feel _someone_ deserves thanks for it.

I think they prefer a tip over a bowed head.

You need all the help you can get at some places (not singling out Chipotle).

Logically, the odds that anyone would get booted out of a restaurant for bowing their head and folding their hands in prayer are zero. On the other hand, loudly intoning “Lord, protect me from Norovirus, Listeria, Staphylococcus, Salmonella and these filthy-looking servers who probably never wash their hands after taking a dump” might just draw negative attention from management.
