School Bans Lord's Prayer so Students Interrupt Cermony and Sing it Anyway
Students of East Liverpool High School were asked to remove the Lord's prayer, a tradition that had been a part of every graduation for over seven decades, but it wasn't going to happen this year and the students made sure of that. The change took place when the Freedom from Religion Foundation demanded the school to stop their choir from doing the Lord's Prayer at future programs. The school authority didn't fight for their rights and implemented the change. The school president Larry Walton said that they 'got caught' and didn't want any legal issues so they just agreed. "It was a decision made because we don't have a lot of money and we'd rather hire teachers than pay lawyers," the president said.
According to Cami Post, the vice president of class 2016, they were't going to sing the Lord's prayer at the ceremony but turned out they had other plans. Watch the video for more information.

Wonderful!
When I graduated in '69, we still had the tradition of "Senior Sermon". On Sun. afternoon before graduation day, we would all don our caps and gowns and attend a special service at a local church. I don't recall anyone protesting.

When I graduated high school in 1981 they invited a pastor (as they traditionally did every year) to give the commencement speech and prayer. We listened to the sermon (or waited for him to shut up) and then went out and partied. But at least there was still some reverence and respect for the things of God around that time.

Whatever it was it brought no real conviction to me since I went girl chasing while still in cap and gown
Also, I went to church that following Sunday
Alas, it would take three more years before the Lord finally got me. Ah, the Lord is truly a patient God.
