Naturally, the incident has been ignored by the liberal media.
When their principal asked everyone to be seated for the ceremony, nearly 400 graduating seniors remained standing and began their prayer. Parents, family and friends spontaneously joined in and then broke into applause upon its completion.
Here’s the background: The ACLU sued the school six months ago, complaining that prayers had been offered at two school-sponsored events. As the school ramped up preparations for this year’s graduation ceremony, the ACLU demanded that they refrain from saying anything religious.
This blatant attempt at censorship led the students to develop their plan in secret.
“Neither students nor teachers shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate,” noted Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law. “The students at Pace High School refused to remain silent and were not about to be bullied by the ACLU.
We’re thinking of starting a new website called IHateTheACLU.com.
