Pictured is one of my former students. This issue is really getting
ugly and I'm shocked that the people in Indianapolis aren't more aware
of the constitution.

There's a poll on the page. Let's tip the scales a bit in our favor!

I told you there would be a prayer...

A student called for a moment of silence. Then the audience
"spontaneously" broke into the Lord's Prayer. After which there was
applause and cheers from the crowd. It wasn't school sponsored, but
I thought it was obnoxious.

I do not believe in censorship, nor in imposing your views forcefully,
either way. It sounds like the school is making the right decision by
not getting involved. What I don't understand is why the students are
unable to come to a solution that will satisfy both sides, such as the
parties that want prayer to stay for a little extra after the main
cermony (or to start early) to fulfill their religious needs. If need
be, there can even be two ceremonies. No need to turn such things into
war of wills.

Back in 1983, my high school made the decision that the Bacchalaureate
(basically, a graduation religious service) would become an optional event
and that all religiosity would be eliminated from the Graduation ceremony
itself. Those students who felt they could not graduate without God's
blessing could attend the Bac in cap and gown. Those who did not want to
be preached at could skip it.

LisaKay,

It looks like there will be no prayer at this graduation.

Good for her. You must be proud. Christians "persecuted by our secular
culture" will never know the courage it _really_ takes for a young person
like that to stand up for her minority rights.

I think that if a few high school commencement ceremonies included a
prayer to invoke the blessings of Satan, the Xtians would stop insisting
on prayers at such ceremonies real quick.
