- If you want to pray at graduation, feel free. Nobody's stopping it. The
- decision was to prevent _organized_ prayer. e.g. Valedictorian says
- "Let us now thank the Lord who enabled us to graduate" type of thing.
-
- Same thing with prayer in schools - nobody is saying you can't pray.
- What they're saying is that prayer cannot be organized and sanctioned
- (purposefully or by default).
