Tis the season.

The right thing to do of course would be for the school to cancel any publicly administered graduation ceremony and allow for the students themselves to organize one or more private ceremonies with their parents picking up the costs.

This way, any venue can be acceptable, no prayers can be stopped, and everyone will be happy.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Stupid as I am, I've been laboring all these years under the delusion that the Constitution prohibited an establishment of religion, as opposed to an endorsement. But then, I never went to University.

Can’t be easy to find an inside venue to hold 3,000 people....guess they will need to rent out the Civic Center in Hartford for big bucks or hold the graduation at Foxwoods Casino.

[Sacajaweau]

Stupid judge....The purpose of being there isn’t religious...It’s graduation.

[highlander_UW]

Since when is renting a building the same as congress establishing a religion?

[raybbr]

There is a story about this at Courant.com. REading the posts by the anarchist/atheists makes my blood boil. They are gloating and acting like spoiled children.

[FlingWingFlyer]

...graduations inside a church because that would be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

We really need to start drug testing our "judges".

I attended a High School Graduation ceremony last week, and it was in a church and you may find this interesting, this was in California.

The High School in question is a small one and does not have an auditorium so the larges building available is a church.

Welcome to Konnecticut.
Oddly, this Looney-Leftist, Pagan mini-Mass. is also the most Home-school-friendly state in the union, with pretty liberal (liberal in a good way) hand gun carry laws.
Go figure.

[Dem Guard]

So hold it on the football field. I hope it rains!

[BuffaloJack]

The judge has the intelligence of a goat.
They aren’t endorsing a religion, they’re exploiting a church and renting space.

[ViLaLuz]

Another common case of Christophobia.

[jiggyboy]

BS. Churches are used for voting all the time.

[cdcdawg]

Interesting. My son’s public elementary school graduation last week was held in a Catholic church. I don’t think a single person was offended.

[pnut22]

Had it been a Mosque, I’m sure it would be fine. As a child many many moons ago I was taught that the purpose of the religion clause was to keep government out of religion.. not vice versa.

[LibLieSlayer]

This judge should be drug behind a horse for 50 miles.

[Venturer]

Another female Judge.

A Judge Judy type with a mountainous ego and a mole hill of common sense.

Anyone with half a brain could figure out that they were just looking for a building large enough to hold the graduation without being rained on.

Anybody but this idiot and the two or three turds who complained.By the way I hope the kids have the names right of the complainants and remind those people for the rest of their lives what idiots they are.

As for the ACLU-———————spit.

[The Wizard]

this is BS and they should do it anyway....we must start standing up to the real meaning of separation of church and state.

[sergeantdave]

Tyrants in black robes need to be dealt with in the next congressional session.

[twhitak]

Obviously, these idiots don’t understand that a church is not the building, but the people.
