Preliminary Injunction Denied Against Community College Graduation Prayer

Yesterday's Orange County (CA) Register reports that a California federal district judge last week refused to issue a temporary injunction against graduation prayer at two California community colleges. The lawsuit against the South Orange Community College District was filed by faculty and students at Saddleback College. The court said that plaintiffs did not show that they would suffer irreparable injury if the traditional non-sectarian invocation was delivered at graduation. The requested preliminary injunction would have stopped the practice while the lawsuit is pending.
