Federal District Judge Fred Biery of Texas, issued the order to stop a school's valedictorian from saying a prayer as part of her graduation speech. Biery ordered that words such as "prayer" and "amen" be banned from graduation ceremonies in the Medina Valley Independent School District. He did so sighting the First Amendment. The First Amendment is written to prevent the government prohibition of the free exercise of religion and protect our freedom of speech. Judge Biery's ruling is not about defending the Constitution. It is anti-religious judicial speech here in America. It is time for Americans who are tired of this kind of repression by an anti-religious judiciary to act. Judge Biery’s decision is so anti-constitutional that the American people should not continue his seat on the federal bench and should call for his immediate resignation.
This judge violated the First Amendment of the constitution by not allowing these Americans the "free exercise of their religion". This whole separation of church and state issue is unconstitutional. It appears nowhere in any of the founding documents. All laws that have anything to do with the separation issue are invalid as "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech" There is no establishment of a religion in praying just free exercise of their religion and freedom of speech.
However, the school district did prevail when the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the judge's ruling just in time for the commencement ceremonies. The graduation ceremonies were then filled with prayers and cheering from the audience.
