Graduation Choir Wants to Sing 'Lord's Prayer' in Honor of Deceased

A Michigan high school choir wishes to sing “The Lord’s Prayer” at their graduation this week in honor of one of their deceased classmates but is still in the process of receiving approval over feared church-state issues.

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Christian litigation that defends the right to speak the “Truth,” sent an information letter to the superintendent of Comstock Park Public School District explaining that the Comstock Park High School choir would be not be infringing upon any laws if they allowed the religious song. The group has even promised to defend the school if the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a group notorious for its anti-Christian lawsuits, takes legal actions.

The song is reported to be the deceased student’s favorite tune.

“The Establishment Clause does not ban religious songs at graduation, and it’s ridiculous that anyone would try to censor students wanting to honor a deceased classmate with one of his favorite songs,” said Jeremy Tedesco, ADF litigation counsel, in a statement. “We sent the information letter to the Comstock Park School District to let them know that ADF will defend the school if the ACLU or any of its allies has the audacity to sue over this.”
