A prayer during his graduation has virtually no effect on his life. If he hates the bible belt so much, move out of state. He's graduated high school, go to some other state for school. I understand the whole freedom of and from religion thing. I get it. But at what point does a guy say, you know what? This doesn't really affect me.
A similar but not-so similar situation was a few years ago when Carlos Delgado refused to stand for God Bless America or the Star Spangled Banner (whichever one). He created huge waves for no reason at all. Just stand and shut-up about it.

Because it shouldn't be in school in the first place. The people who should be shutting up about are the religious freaks who feel the need to push their agenda. Same with the people who got pissed at Delgado.
