FLORENCE, S.C. (CN) - A family says a public school district is unconstitutionally promoting Christianity, brazenly requiring students to attend "an evangelical revival assembly to 'save' students" by coming to Jesus, and telling a father who complained about it that he "needed to get right with God."FLORENCE, S.C.

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.

In Florida, Pace High School Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman are both facing criminal contempt charges and possible jail time for endorsing the Christian religion in a public school. Earlier this year, Lay asked the school athletic director, Robert Freeman, to "bless the food" at a luncheon at Pace High for school personnel and booster club members instrumental in helping procure a new field-house. Both men were in violation of an explicit court order to refrain from prayer at school sponsored functions.
Pace High School, located in Florida's Santa Rosa County School District, is a school of more than 1,800 students. Pace is known by many as "the Baptist Academy." For years, teachers and staff delivered prayers, mandated students complete religious-oriented assignments and encouraged involvement in religious clubs. Teachers offered Bible readings or biblical interpretations and talked about the churches they attended. Christian prayers during sporting events and other activities were common. All this was encouraged and endorsed by Principal Frank Lay.In Florida, Pace High School Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman... more

In a bizarre macabre account of divine intervention, Erik Larson amazingly encounters the All Mighty through a death proof hearse. Empowered to guide the lost, the Minister of Death mobs down the streets in his bequeathed vehicle of demise to enlighten the impressionable, the drug addicts, and the criminal element of the mortality that challenges them. Being scared straight may be the answer toward a future of sobriety.In a bizarre macabre account of divine intervention, Erik Larson amazingly encounters... more

Our world is being destroyed by only a few men. While the rest of us are struggling to survive, our politicians and religious leaders are manipulating their followers and creating wars. Our planet is angry and is starting to fight back. The Bush family has decimated the Middle-east because they covet their oil reserves. The religious leaders of the world have been brainwashing people for thousands of years by threatening them with damnation just to get them to do their dirty work. Our planet is a living planet. What happens when a living organism is threatened? It does whatever it takes to survive. Our planet will kill us if we do not correct our actions. Global warming is real, but it is only the beginning. In case you haven’t noticed there has been an increase in global disasters. If we do not reverse our situation we’ll have no planet left to fight for. For as long as I have been alive The Bush family has been manipulating and falsely befriending the Middle-eastern leaders, and starting bullshit wars in order to get a foothold in Iraq. ALL THEY WANT IS THE FUCKING OIL!! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! They tell you it’s about democracy. Guess what? THEY’RE LYING TO YOU!! The Bush family has allied themselves with Saudi Arabia (a monarchy by the way) who has supplied a majority of the world terrorists. Gee, it’s almost like our government uses their terrorists to instill fear in the world in order to keep us down and out of the way. Every religion since the beginning of time has manipulated people with fear of damnation and eternal suffering in order to get them to fight and die for their god. Every religion has the basic concept of what is right and wrong. Why then don’t they practice what they preach? Because they are just as greedy as the rest of the world leaders. The more people you get to follow you the more powerful you become. The Catholic church, for one, has gone as far as torturing people into believing in their god. Isn’t it our choice to believe whatever the hell we want? Isn’t that what freedom of religion means? I for one am finished with all of the deceit and destruction. We as a people of Earth need to take a stand against those responsible for the turmoil in the world. WAKE UP, STAND UP and BE STRONG!! SAVE OUR PLANET!!! Sincerley Awake, SMR Our world is being destroyed by only a few men. While the rest of us are... more

No, On Prayer In School, But We All Should Pray!!
The reason Ole Funky Fingers says this is because
We cannot assume all kids have a religious preference.
Or even believe in the same religon. Instead of putting
Prayer in schools we should put more educational resources
Ie: Computer Labs, After School Programs, Job Training Coures.No, On Prayer In School, But We All Should Pray!!

I think that all students should be able to pray in school. It's not going to hurt anyone if there is a silent prayer. I prayed when I was in school over meals, before during and after class. Also before during and after a test. I prayed that I got good grades, the teachers had the correct information handed out at the correct time. Also so that I would pass with ease and take in the knowledge that was valuable. I didn't persue anyone to convert over to my belifes and they didn't try to convert me. But if someone asked I would answer them.
Like the bible says confess with thy mouth in public,don't deny me & I won't deny you.
I feel like we shouldn't be trying to tell eachother what religion is best but while praying if asked don't be shy to speak out. I'm a studing to be an Evangelist at this time. So if you have any questions for me I will do my best to answer them if not I'll find out the answer for you & get it back to you.
Yours in ChristI think that all students should be able to pray in school. It's not going to... more

The main reason kids go to school is to STUDY.
Not to pray or make it a religious thing, kids go to study and earn a future.
Thats good for them if they beleive in their religion, but they shouldnt have that as a main point of their school, they have time out of school to pray, they should just keep the schools as a place to study and to get an education, The main reason kids go to school is to STUDY.

Brief point made about not allowing prayer in school.

Watch my video and tell me what you think. I don't believe the government or anyone else should have the right to take away prayer in school. It breaches two fundamental american rights - freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Students that share the same beliefs should be able to pray, prayer is very important to religious people like me. If a coach is religious, and there are religious players on the team, they deserve the right to be able to pray to god for strength. If there is someone in the group who doesnt pray, he does not HAVE to take part. Prayer gets us through the toughest things in our lives. Don't take it awayWatch my video and tell me what you think. I don't believe the government or... more
