It was planned all along....but only by the parents and kids from what I can tell.
This kid pissed off a lot of people.

“I’m wondering why,” said Kari Payton, class valedictorian. “This is something that’s been done for years - forever - and now that we’re graduating we can’t show reverence and honor to our God?”
Jasmine Davis’ feelings on the issue were shared by many others.
“Why does one person get to decide what more than 200 of us do?” Davis said. “It’s obvious (the student) is in the minority, yet the rest of us are being denied to pray to our God.”

As the group crowded the front steps of the church, they discussed a plan that will still allow prayer to be heard at graduation. During the time of “silent reflection,” adults in the bleachers in the football stadium at Bastrop High will stand, followed by the students, who will turn to face the stadium as the group recites the Lord’s Prayer.
“We’ll still get our prayer in,” said Mason Caldwell. “If (the protesting student) hadn’t done this, it wouldn’t have given us the chance to join with our parents and families and friends, and all pray together.”
