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.
