Every spring, atheists seek to remove God from public school graduation; and every year, Liberty Counsel acts to ensure that prayer and religious viewpoints are not suppressed during these ceremonies.
We are launching our fourteenth annual "Friend or Foe" Graduation Prayer Campaign. This campaign serves to protect religious viewpoints at graduation. We will educate and, if necessary, litigate to ensure that prayer and religious viewpoints are not suppressed during graduation ceremonies and also throughout the year.
The key for public schools is that the school should remain neutral - neither commanding nor prohibiting religious expression. Students are encouraged to wear Liberty Counsel’s red "I WILL PRAY" wristbands as a reminder to pray. They do not lose their constitutional right to free speech when they step to the podium at graduation.
