ACLU Attacking Prayer in Louisiana

We read:

"A guest at one of the high school graduation ceremonies in Ouachita Parish has contacted the Louisiana American Civil Liberties Union to complain about religious activities at a public event, Executive Director Joe Cook said Thursday....

Following a direction by the Ouachita Parish School system, seniors at the six high schools in the parish voted to determine whether prayer would be a part of each graduation ceremony. All six schools voted to have prayer led by a student. The vote for prayer was unanimous by the students at Ouachita Parish High School....

Cook said that according to what's been reported, at least one of the graduations in Ouachita Parish was "like a prayer meeting with the Lord's Prayer and Amen."
