Backed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Medina Valley Independent School District officials are appealing a federal judge's ruling that barred public prayer at Saturday's graduation ceremony, they said at a news conference in San Antonio on Wednesday.
Abbott said his office today will file with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans an “amicus brief” that will accompany an appeal from the district, to try to overturn a ruling of Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery.
They will seek an emergency ruling before Medina Valley High School's graduation Saturday.
