Liberty Counsel Launching Campaign To Support Graduation Prayer

Liberty Counsel today announced the launch of its annual "Friend or Foe" Graduation Prayer Campaign. It says that its goal is to "ensure that prayer and religious viewpoints are not suppressed during graduation ceremonies." It has again made available online its "Legal Memorandum on Graduation Prayers in Public Schools". The memo outlines the possibility of prayers being offered by students or speakers on their own initiative where they have been chosen to speak on the basis of religiously neutral criteria. It also reviews the possibility of privately-sponsored graduation ceremonies or baccalaureate services. Liberty Counsel is also more generally encouraging students to wear its red "I Will Pray" wristbands to school.
