My guess is that parent doesn’t exist. This Freedom From Religion group enjoys spoiling events like this. I see nothing in the article that says the prayer was not going to be student led.
I agree, does this parent or child exist? When my children were in grade school there were several different representatives from various religious affiliations speaking and or leading prayers during special events at the public school. Never a problem then, why now? I do believe that the “FFRP” is just another group out to silence religious expression of any kind in this country. God help the next generation of children.
