I understand that...I do. What I am saying is...what can they do though? Should they have had a sniper at the ready to clock someone who mentioned "god"?
Should the student be arrested and prosecuted?
I honestly dont understand what it is they expect to have happen. I agree if the school and/or teachers agreed to the prayer in this case...they are screwed. But from reading what I did, this was not the case. It was the community getting together and deciding among themselves they were going to do it together....students, parents and whoever else.

It's a tough spot for them, but their only real option would have been to cut her mic and reiterate that public prayers are not permitted for legal reasons. If they were really bright, they could have followed it up with, "However, for those students and their families and friends who wish to join in a declaration of our Christian faith, there will be an optional prayer session held at XYZ church following the graduation ceremony."
