Did you read the last sentence? Students are allowed to pray collectively. They can choose to or not.

In the words of Coach Boone "Let the boys play. Let 'em play!" Good luck Blue and Gold! Go Trojans!

The following is also from the American Center for Law & Justice website. There is also a lot more information on this site -- too much to list here. I suggest everyone check it out for yourself at www.aclj.org "In the Santa Fe case, a case involving prayer at football games that I argued a couple years ago, the Supreme Court did say that the school was too involved in the prayer activity, even in Justice Stevens' opinion. This is not overly helpful in any regard, except for one: the Supreme Court said that students have the right to pray before, during, and after the school day. And there's nothing in the Constitution, or the Supreme Court precedent, that denies that. So there are constitutional rights, even in the Santa Fe case, allowing students to pray collectively as a group. Students are allowed if they so choose-it's up to them."

GO BULLDOGS!!!!! I'm just sayin...

. No. See this. http://www.aclj.org/Issues/Resources/Document.aspx?ID=717

The prayer over the loudspeaker at the SDHS games is ALWAYS by a STUDENT. It is never by a a principal or other school administrator. Prayers can be led by STUDENTS at any public school in the country. Prayers can also be said at public school graduations as long as the senior student body votes in the majority for this to happen. Our school superintendent doesn't want any controversy over this, he has enough controversy in his administration already. The Soddy Daisy community has really rallied around this and we're ready to fight for this. There will be a community prayer meeting/vigil at the Veterans Park (sometimes called the helicopter park) in Soddy Daisy on Wednesday, October 27 at 5:00. If you live in the area, please come and show your support. If you don't, then please remember us in your prayers (publicly or privately.)

um...see my post from Soddy Daisy...he's been there for 40+ years...you can still have him. Bless His Heart.

You can have the announcer for Soddy Daisy...

] As a SDHS parent, she's my hero too! She doesn't mince words and isn't afraid to tell it like it is. More often than not, she stands alone on the school board asking hard questions and usually not getting straight answers. She doesn't quit, doesn't give up! She is well liked by her constituents and pretty much hated by the upper echelons of the Hamilton County Department of Education.
