It's a public university; of course they aren't going to say a prayer there (as well they shouldn't).

You have no idea of where you have come from, nor where you are heading.

Why are you here?

[eyespysomething]

Invocations and/or convocations have always been part of graduation ceremonies.

I hope you have your flame-proof suit on. You're gonna need it.

Of COURSE they aren't going to say a prayer there?

Why ever not? I've attended many graduations over the years- PUBLIC high schools- private and public univerisities- junior colleges and so on. This was the first one in all those years- in various kinds of schools where there was no blessing asked for the students.

(as well they shouldn't).

Why not?

I read recently in the book Young Patriots that Ben Franklin recommended at one point that they beseech the Almighty for a little guidance in drafting the Constitution.

His suggestion was out-voted and now we've got an income tax, a nanny state, a Supreme Court that looks to foreign law for nifty ideas, career politicians a federal school board and the list goes on and on and on. And the things that they specifically said Congress should not do Congress now does all the time.

I'm sure you see my point.
