> This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the

> "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football
> games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and
> Country.?
> Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a
> Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at
> this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual
> perversion and call it "an alternate lifestyle," And if someone is
> offended, that's OK.
> I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and
> calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.
>
> I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing
> an unborn baby as a "viable means of birth control." If someone is
> offended, no problem...
>
> I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in
> activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "mother
> earth" and call it "ecology? I can use literature, videos and
> presentations in the classroom that depict people with strong,
> traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and
"ignorant"
> and call it "enlightenment."
>
> However, if anyone uses this facility to honor God and to ask Him to
> bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case

> This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical.
> Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except God

>
> Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and

> For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst,
> hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally.
> I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this

> bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's
> not against the law----yet."

> One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands

> They prayed in the team huddles.

> They prayed at the concession stand

> The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United
