Federal Judge Prohibits Prayer at Texas Graduation Ceremony

RE: Federal Judge Prohibits Prayer at Texas Graduation Ceremony

As such, it is reasonable to assume that the school will take necessary steps (like prescreening) so as to best select someone to speak at the school's official function. Ergo, the school is one that is taking responsibility over what is said in it's name.

When I first initially read the article I interpreted it as students were not allowed to pray at the ceremony, but the way you've presented it makes more sense. Having not read the actual decision, I assumed no prayer was allowed, but it makes more sense that the punishments were put in place for any student praying on the behalf of the school, which I wholeheartedly agree is wrong.

Which was why the asshole lawyer fighting the ruling was quoted as saying this-
Quote:“It seems like a trampling of the First Amendment rather than protecting the First Amendment.”
