(The Christian Post) A school superintendent in Kentucky has clarified that his school district has not agreed to stop students from praying at graduation ceremonies following a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a prominent atheist group advocating for a strict separation of church and state.
In July, FFRF sent Pikeville Independent Schools Superintendent David Trimble a letter on behalf of a “concerned citizen” who reported that the 2020 Pikeville High School graduation ceremony included three student-led prayers.
According to a news release Thursday, Pikeville Independent School District’s legal counsel recently told FFRF that he had the opportunity to review the letter and “wanted to let you know that I have advised the principal to refrain from religious prayer at future graduations.”
