LOL! Saying a personal prayer is "blatant contempt for the First Amendment?" That's a new one. I thought the content of speech is protected, regardless of one thinks of it. Silly me. Its that God Talk the ACLU finds objectionable. I guess some speech is more equal than other speech.

She didn't say a personal prayer. Read the article: she gave an “altar call” to the community, asking those in the audience to come forward to accept Jesus Christ.

This is the wrong venue for that type of thing. Absolutely wrong. Now, the article doesn't say, but I assume everyone had enough sense to not accept her ill-timed invitation.

But suppose they had. Was she going to then go through an emotional "come-to-Jesus" stunt in the middle of her ceremony, hijacking the audience and the rest of her fellow graduates?

Selfish and innapropriate.
