Graduations took place the past couple of weeks for the majority of our schools. There were numerous variations of social distancing, but Greenville County, SC schools seem to have gone to far.
This came in an e-mail from Palmetto Family,
You may have read on social media over the week that the Greenville County School district informed their employees about a Federal Court order instructing them to neither pray nor give the appearance of praying or showing respect for prayer during any graduation ceremony.“The court order states that all school district employees who attend a high school graduation as part of his or her official duties may not participate in any student-led prayer by, for example, standing or bowing his or her head.”
This is all the result of a years long legal battle started by a parent and the "Humanist Society" over prayer at a graduation.
In times of trouble, prayer would appear to be especially important, except to humanists. The rest of us are crying out to God to forgive us and to save us. Not the humanists. They would drag everyone else down to Hell with them.
If ever there was a need for public prayer, now is the time.
To deny a person's right to pray is what I would expect from a totalitarian government like what we are seeing in China these days.

Government Schools. It seems like home schooling or private schools is the only refuge of prayer.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteThey cannot show respect for prayer. That's a violation of their rights. If this sort of oppression is going on in South Carolina, what chance do people in the rest of the nation have?
ReplyDeleteWhat chance? Not a prayer.
