When the Clay-Chalkville High School graduation ceremony stopped briefly for a medical emergency in the stands, graduate Christian Crawford spontaneously took to the microphone to pray for the person receiving treatment.

Crawford told the crowd that he didn’t know what was going on, but he wanted to pray. The young man’s powerful prayer brought cheers from the crowd on hand.

The ceremony resumed shortly after the prayer. Check out the video below to see Crawford’s prayer.

Sometimes all we see is the bad news about young people but this is good. Very good.

I guess the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law freaks will be after him to sue him for praying at graduation when someone had a medical emergency. If so, I'll donate to his defense fund!

I’m surprised the school didn’t suspend him immediately and prevent his graduation for such ‘micro-aggression’ against all non Christians at the affair. I’m sure the ACLU will be right on the case!

‘The ceremony resumed shortly after the prayer’ with the arrest of Crawford.

I’ll never feel safe at a graduation again. #INeedCounseling

Would you be surprised if the government sent goons to the school for this? Or if the ACLU or the Satanists sued?

The movies have ‘thought police’, you have the ACLU and we have Federal and Provincial ‘Human Rights Commissions’. Based upon their judgments, I guess that Christians are not ‘human’, since at least 98% of all cases find the Christian to be at fault.

What really surprised me was reading the follow up article and finding out he actually had just opened the ceremony with prayer! Didn’t know that still happened at any public schools.
