High School Will Not Spend Money To Fight ACLU Over Prayer Banner

Fox News yesterday reported that a Cranson, Rhode Island high school will remove or change the wording on a banner that has hung in its auditorium since 1956 rather than spend the amount that would be necessary to fight church-state objections by the ACLU. The banner features a prayer to "Our Heavenly Father" to grant students the desire to do their best, to be good sports and to be kind and honest and know true friendship. The School Committee plans to discuss the matter with the ACLU to see if they can agree on compromise language.
