One of my favorite hymns!

And now every Catholic Church in the USA includes the addendum — for Thine is the — at the end of the Our Father. Our only difference now is that we still say Trespasses, instead of debts.
Pay to pray? Do it regardless.

The judge should hang from a lamppost.
They need to be fearful about doing anti-constitutional rulings.

My saintly father's favorite hymn was “How Great Thou Art.” However, I can't see it being included in the half-time “show” at a football game. This looks like somebodies idea of making a political statement, not glorifying God.

What, no bloodshed? How utterly civilized of you all.
If something similar were to happen with sunnis and shiites, somebody’d be getting beheaded for their blasphemy.

The only fix is to separate the government from education, so that these football games would not have any sort of government-related implications.

As I thought, the band was not fined $7,500. The school district was fined, which is not fine, but not as bad as fining a school band.

High School band music does not typically include vocals. This means that a tune has now been banned for religious reasons.

Just include a muslim prayer and it will go on as usual

Someone at the school should write some secular, school-spirit-based lyrics set to the tune of How Great Thou Art. Then the band could innocently insist that they just want to support the team by playing the song. "If people in the stands insist on singing different lyrics, that is not the band's fault."
Lots of different songs have similar tunes. John Fogerty once prevailed in a “he stole my song” lawsuit by demonstrating as much in a courtroom, with his guitar.

All my life, school bands have been performing hymns and other music. the Star Spangled Banner is a hymn.

Next they will ban the alma mater from being played at graduations across the country. I don’t know the words to my high school alma mater, but my university’s lyrics are Christian.
Ignore the overreaching judge.

Schools need to ignore such rulings, ignore the fines & refuse to pay them, & do what the community wants.
Moreover, we need to get the government out of the education business permanently.
