What would happen if a group of students stood and said The Lord's Prayer, and others joined in???

I see the needs of the many have to be quenched by the one...

ACLU needs to be shut down, permanently.

Hopefully the Judge and his sycophantic minions would turn into pillars of salt.

"Lutgens argued that any prayer would be unconstitutional because it would endorse a specific religion and religious views."

Isn't this lame excuse for intolerance a tad worn out?

Good grief!

Hearing something doesn't require you to endorse it.

Odd how public schools have G.L.A.D., Gay, Lesbian and whatever day and a STRAIGHT person can NOT OBJECT TO THAT.

EVIL is prompted and advocated - THAT the godless left want YOU to tolerate.

Arrests, perhaps. I recall a few years ago some young girl went up to the dais to speak. All at once the entire class sneezed, and she replied "Bless you all."

But sex clubs are OK.

Hedonism is more traditional at the ACLU.

I hope that that's exactly what happens.Strictly voluntary it should be...those who choose to participate stand and pray,those who don't stand (or sit...or leave) and say nothing.The world goes on,nobody's lost their life and those who are offended will get over it within about 3 minutes.

But in reality,the school district will be sued by the atheist(s) who objected and some Carter appointee will award him/her/them/it serious $$$,even if the kids were specifically instructed by the faculty not to do it.

My thought exactly.

[SkyDancer]

Except if it was an Islamic prayer, then they'd be running around demanding the prayer .....

McKinley, Joseph H. Jr.

Nominated by William J. Clinton on May 24, 1995, to a seat vacated by Ronald E. Meredith; Confirmed by the Senate on August 11, 1995, and received commission on August 14, 1995.

Another so-called "judge" who thinks that he has been designated as the local god and that the First Amendment does not apply to American citizens. At least the whining little Liberal DemocRAT who complained decided it was wise to remain anonymous. That's the same thing all terrorists do. He/she will probably wear a mask to graduation.

[Gordongekko909]

Ahh, the ACLU. Fighting for Americans' liberty to, umm... face massive government interference whenever they try to do anything.

[Dante3]

An unidentified student? I thought if someone sued, their identity became public record.

Anyway, Judge Joseph McKinley becomes a nominee to the Judges Hall of Shame.

I graduated high school in 1995, Spencer County High School, Taylorsville KY. Up until then (I don't know if this is the case now) it was a tradition that a few days before the graduation ceremony there would be a Baaculaureate. It was an expected thing, completely voluntary, and as far as I could remember, NO ONE had a problem with it. My school also had the Ten Commandments hanging in at least a handful of classrooms. My how things have changed in such a short amount of time...

[GBA]

Do it any way! Say the prayer and pay the fine or go to jail or whatever the penalty is, but say the graduation prayers.

[do the dhue]

They are trying to remove God from our public view for a reason. If God is removed, who will remember that we have God given rights (inalienable rights) not man or government given rights? These people trying to remove God from our public view are evil and must be stopped.

[SF Republican]

argued that any prayer would be unconstitutional because it would endorse a specific religion and religious views let me see, Christians pray, Muslims pray, Jews pray...

[Elpasser]

Such grave and weighty issues our federal courts deal with ...!

[Steve_Seattle]

I still maintain that an interpretation of the Constitution which pits the "free exercise" clause against the "establishment" clause cannot be the correct interpretation. Applying the 1st Amendment to the states uttterly inverts its meaning. It was intended as a curb on federal power, i.e., "Congress shall make no law . . ."; now it is used to bring federal authority into purely local matters.

[GSWarrior]

Isn't that what Baccalaureate is for? Do schools still have that?
