Federal Judge Prohibits Prayer at Texas Graduation Ceremony
I guess more specifically, is this an attack on the first amendment or simply upholding separation of church and state?
To prohibit an individual from saying certain words seems like the first, but then the question is whether it is allowed at a public (state funded) event? The school is not forcing or endorsing the words or a prayer in anyway, it is up to the students on whether they want to say those words.
Hmm..
As consistently profitable traders.. "We get paid to wait, and we wait to get paid."
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
Ezikiel 25:17
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." --- "Therefore, I Believe it and I will see it. And every day and in every way, I am healthier, wealthier, and wiser."
The issue is state sponsorship. Private schools are a different ball of wax.
The first amendment prohibits government from establishing a religion, and the courts have interpreted that language over the years to prevent this kind of situation, where a prayer is placed on the "official agenda" of a state institution that's supposed to be religion-neutral. But it still happens all the time anyway. The question is whether anyone in a given situation will be so bothered about it that they sue.
Most folks I talk to who are in favor of prayer in public functions or in schools ... generally don't support the same issue if the religion is different from the one they subscribe to...
I was asking if you would support all religions to hold services in government facilities, public schools and public events.
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.
My daddy always said, "Every day above ground is a good day!"
