Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We require the headline match the original article, in this case "Feds Tell Faith Leaders ‘No More Prayer’ Outside Broadview Facility "
Please make it match or we'll have to remove it.
This one is fundamentally different from the headline you provided, they may have realized the original was incorrect and swapped it out on you.
I've edited, but rules say title must faily describe article, which it did already.
I suggest updating the rules to match what you said here.
It's clearly stated in rule #1:
"Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments."
In your case, the submitted title stated the exact opposite of the original.
Which, it added context, and was more descriptive. It was not the "exact opposite", because rest assured, this will happen everywhere else prayer becomes "problematic" for optics in this administration.
Again, your headline stated that they banned prayer in "federal facilities", implying all federal facilities, which was not true.
They banned it in this one, specific, facility as prayer was being used as a form of protest.
"Federal facilities", as in all buildings and area around the campus that is the "Broadview ICE facility". And, anywhere else they feel it needs to be. That's not "the exact opposite". And, regardless of the "why", prayer, itself, was banned.
Again, I edited it, per your request. I'd suggest editing your rules to state link titles must match titles, verbatim, since that's what you asked me to do, even though the title I used was in concordance with the posted rule.
