Prayer Ban Lifted

[SonSeeker]

A federal appeals court has lifted a ban on public prayer at a Texas high school graduation, the Associated Press is reporting.
The ruling, by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, reverses a lower court that sided with an agnostic family who sued the Medina Valley Independent School District, in Castroville.
The ruling means students and the audience can say "amen" at Saturday's graduation ceremony.Prayer

Apparently, someone in the justice dept. has a small glimmer of common sense.

Don't think the problem will go away though. Elections coming up in the near future, don't be surprised if a little manufactured crisis comes along.

Maybe something like a seperatist extremist Amish private secessionist movement, clad in laserproof buttonless black homespun ninja suits, wielding large-capacity self-loading military-calibre islamophobic Bibles and committing heinous biological-warfare atrocities like selling unpasteurized milk to their poor oppressed brainwashed neighbours. Jane Reno will need to be brought out of cryogenic storage to lead the Homeland Insecurity Battalion, supported by Grand Marshal DeGeneres of the Testicle Squashing Authority and Commissar Pelosi leading the Feral Burrow of Instigation, to quell the rebellion against the benevolent continuous government of the enlightened Comrade-President (life) Imam Hussein. The raising of fortified atomic-proof Barnshelters by the Mennonite menace will necessitate the Federal Emergent WoManagement Association purchasing M1A1 tanks and reactivating offshore naval gunfire support in the form of the de-mothballed USS Missouri, crewed by a scratch crew of non-gender-thpethific thea-thcouts. To guard against nautical martyrdom operations by the fearsome and brutally merciless Amish underwater combat swimmers, trained in Pennsylvania Deutsch baptismal fonts, a new regiment of Barrie-loyal Rio Grande La Raza cocaine-powered clearance-divers will be required; as these have native nightvision and escape and evasion capabilities from birth. Just in case those quaint black Amish buggies are actually fiendishly camouflaged stealth capable mobile SAMs or AAA, all roads not already torn up or covered by antitank mines will need to be patrolled by ACAV units and Predator drones mounted with reactivated Pershing II missiles. Comrade-citizens still capable of moving on any surviving roads are ordered not to; it's bad for the environment. All Bibles must be exchanged 1 for 1 at local former-churches for personally autographed Obamabibles, with the Hadiths included free of charge. Failure to comply will result in deactivation of your Monsanto nourishment account, and your allocation of lithium-water will be halved to one quart per week.

Unlikely, but you never know....

Pretty soon the only one we can look to for justice on this Earth will be God Himself. Mankind's descent into wickedness is continuing and I don't see it turning around anytime soon. Christians and Jews will be so despised etc... (you know what I mean).

I'm glad the students will be able to participate in prayer at their graduation. Praise God and may He bless them all. amen!

Praise the Holy Lord, all is not lost in this country -- yet...

Some of these decision and choices will be things to keep an eye on. I firmly believe there will be choices made that have the appearance of truth but really ultimately be the opposite. It will more and more be rooted in self-determinism and lawlessness which there are strong roots in this country and messages more and more even in society pointing that way.
