Then the article SHOULD say. Clergy given personal invitations to attend the ceremony, but they will attend in their role of First Responders. Wow. How hard is that.

You’re acting like this is about this one guy. It’s not. It’s about keeping prayer and GOD out of these ceremonies.

"Clergy" is not singular. It is plural. So, your take on the headline is completely off base.

cler·gy/ˈklərjē/

Noun: The body of all people ordained for religious duties, esp. in the Christian Church.

It's not about this one guy. They're not including clergy in this memorial. Just like the headline says.
