I’m opposed to the idea. If the majority of students wish to have a prayer as part of their graduation, why should they be denied? The First Amendment clearly supports their wishes.
Perhaps in the future a vote should be taken every year. The graduating students, and ONLY those who will graduate, can vote on whether to include prayer as part of the formal graduation service. THAT would be a reasonable compromise.

They tried that in Sante Fe TX. The SCOTUS found that unconstitutional as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Fe_Independent_School_Dist._v._Doe
Don’t get me wrong folks. The judge is telling the school district that they have to censor what a student can say, word by word. I don’t care what the subject is, that can’t be constitutional.
