Seniors Hold Prayer Despite an Atheist's Threats; Graduates of La. High School Recite Lord's Prayer

The Christian Broadcast Network website reports that seniors in Louisiana's Bastrop High School went on with prayer during their graduation ceremony May 20, 2011, despite threats of a possible lawsuit.

Open atheist graduate Damon Fowler complained to the superintendent about the traditional prayer and threatened to contact the American Civil Liberties Union if it wasn't removed from the ceremony.

School administrators decided to eliminate the prayer, and instead have a "moment of silence."

But when graduating senior Laci Rae Mattice stood at the podium to lead a moment of silence, she instead asked graduating students to join her in reciting the Lord's Prayer.
