School Board Changes Prayer Policy-- Uses Disclaimer

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Last month, the Freedom from Religion Foundation wrote the Polk County, Florida school board threatening to sue if board members continued to open Board meetings with a prayer.  Today's Winter Haven (FL) News Chief reports that the school board, after consulting its attorney, has responded by moving the prayer to precede the official start of the meeting and adding this disclaimer to its agendas:
Voluntary invocation may be offered before the opening of the School Board meeting by a private citizen. The views or beliefs expressed in the invocation have not been reviewed nor approved by the School Board, and the Board is not allowed, by law, to endorse the religious beliefs or views of this, or any other speaker.
