Student: Seniors united to acknowledge God at graduation

[here now]

Marcia said:
Christians have it so easy in the country. I wonder if all these students would have prayed the way they did if they were in a country where they were told they could be killed for praying in public?

I say:
With your way of thinking this country just may come to be one of those countries.
Thank God for the USA! They had a right to pray and they did....End Of Story!

You ignored the point I made showing that the story of Daniel is not parallel with this situation.

Personally, I think the option of having baccalaureate services in which each group's religious beliefs are respected and enhanced is the best idea. In a town in which the graduating class is say 60% Christian, 30% Jewish and 10% Moslem each group could hold their own service. Students would not be required to attend. The graduation exercise itself would be secular. The high school I graduated from (in Louisville) did not have a baccalaureate service but Danville High did which I attended. I thought it was a very good tradition.
