So, she proselytized ~ none of your damned business. She was invited to speak. Unless the school district was in the business of DICTATING THE PRAYER, something which is Constitutionally prohibited (according to the Supreme Court), she could pray as she wished.

Your narrow, petty, sectarian viewpoint on what is permissible religious expression (or prayer) in public is the problem ~

Being Catholic, I'm not familiar with a lot of Protestant ritual, but don't you need an altar to have an altar call?

I happen to agree, basically, with SD on this; if I wanted to go to a revival, I'd go to a revival.

If a speaker wants to invoke God or Jesus, fine; but asking people to convert is a bit much. It could easily be the case that next year the valedictorian is Muslim or Buddhist or something else non-Crhistian. But there's no violation of the law here, IMO; I think the poster who said she was glorifying herself, or showing off, is right.
