SC Valedictorian Bucks Prayer Ban at Graduation; Rips Pre-Approved Speech, Delivers Lord's Prayer

A South Carolina valedictorian disregarded a new ruling that prayer would be cut from his school district's graduation ceremonies, the Christian Broadcast News website reports today (June 6, 2013).

Roy Costner IV ripped up his pre-approved speech and instead spoke about his Christian upbringing.

He then delivered the Lord's Prayer to a crowd cheering in support.

The Pickens County School District says no disciplinary action will be taken against the valedictorian. A school spokesman says they won't punish a student for expressing his religious faith.
