Kevin,
I strongly disagree you with this, and I agree with judge. Religion and government should always be separate, and if you look around all over the world where there is conflict it is always when you mix religion and government together. Our founding fathers were very smart when they said religion and government should be separate. This was not in crime court so any one is allowed to file case under Jane Doe. Also when you said only three students changed what the majority wanted, it is not what the majority wants it is what the law says. Imagine if the board of education said we will held the graduation in synagogue or mosque or in temple you would see lot more people will disagree wit this.

I strongly disagree with you also Kevin and I'm surprised about your position on this seeing how you champion causes against government agencies illegally imposing their will on others. (Mayor's Office and Sasha Hunter's case being just two examples)

The school is also government and the separation of church and state is law. Like you eluded to with Sasha's case, this act might not be harmless in and of itself but it can lead to a slippery slope situation. I think the judge made the right call.

Also, three people are not changing the will of the majority. The will of the majority has already been recorded in our constitution. These three people were just aware/concerned enough to catch it.

Kevin, I also disagree with you. This is what really makes the USA different. In England it's Anglican services in their public (ie private) schools. In Muslim countries it's the impact of Islam in the schools. I think the one country based on religion (Isreal) one can expect that influence. Whoops, I forgot the separation of India and the Pakistani nations (before Bangladesh was named). As the first commenter stated, religion associated with any parts of govenment is a poor road.

I still fail to see how renting the building is going to influence anyone's views . If there was a religious service or preaching, I would be opposed also. I have been in that building for a nephew's graduation a few years ago and religion wasn't even on my mind. It is a beautiful building, sitting in the balcony was like being at a modern Bushnell Theater with A/C that actually worked, the sound system and acoustics were great and you could actually hear the speakers.

Religion did not impose on the graduation or overshadow it, this just seems like a lot of uproar over nothing.

I do believe in the separation of church and state, but I don't see any undue influence here other than it made sense for the school system

One nation under God? Sure, and all men are created equal. Only some are a little more equal than others.
