Lawsuit Over Prayer At Graduation Ceremonies In Texas Is Settled, Says Americans United

Agreement Ensures Prayer At School Graduation Ceremonies Won't Be Up To 'Majority Rules' Elections, Says AU's Lynn
Americans United for Separation of Church and State and a Texas public school district have settled a lawsuit involving a policy that allowed students to vote on prayer at graduation ceremonies.
So what's so bad about that if the ruling forbids a Muslim student from commanding the crowd to face east and bow down while he leads them in prayer to Allah?
Noone is keeping the students from praying. They are only preventing the students from participating in a school -sponsored prayer, using all taxpayers' monies.

The game is rigged such that only the majority view is expressed.

That is such a simple concept....why can't people like Blazer get it???
These same people scream when they believe their taxes are stolen from them to give to someone else yet they think MY taxes should fund THEIR religion !!!

Actually what happens is that the student body takes a vote so it's a majority rule if they want prayers at graduation ceremonies..no one commands.
3 out of 4 Round Rock High Schools voted to have prayers.
Understand the facts before you make an opinion please.

Dude, the students didn't make the rules governing the election. The government did. The authorities rigged the game so that only the religion of the majority would be expressed during the religious exercise.
