The article also points out:
"In January, the Santa Rosa County School District settled out of court with the ACLU, agreeing to several things, including a provision to bar all school employees from promoting or sponsoring prayers during school-sponsored events; holding school events at church venues when a secular alternative was available; or promoting their religious beliefs or attempting to convert students in class or during school-sponsored events.
"Mr. Staver said the district also agreed to forbid senior class President Mary Allen from speaking at the school's May 30 graduation ceremony on the chance that the young woman, a known Christian, might say something religious.
"She was the first student body president in 33 years not allowed to speak," he said."
Where is the lawsuit by the student who was denied her right to speak?
Whatever happened to manners? It just seems to me that if someone is praying and you don't agree with the fact that they are praying or their prayer, you could just sit quietly until they are done. I really think criminal charges in this case are a little ridiculous. Don't we have enough of a backup in our courts?
