Valedictorian rips up approved graduation speech, recites Lord’s Prayer

[pmull]

This young man stood up for what be believes. 

Liberty High School valedictorian Roy Costner IV decided God was going to be part of his graduation regardless of what school officials in South Carolina thought about it.

After taking the podium, Costner ripped his approved speech in half for all to see and began speaking from a separate script, then thanked his parents for his Christian upbringing, according to Christian News.

“Those that we look up to, they have helped carve and mold us into the young adults that we are today,” he said. “I’m so glad that both of my parents led me to the Lord at a young age.”

“And I think most of you will understand when I say…” he continued, at which point he began reciting the Lord’s Prayer in defiance of the school district’s decision to no longer include prayer at graduation ceremonies.

I wish we could return to the practice of beginning every school day with the students and teachers reciting the Lord’s Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance.  If someone didn't want to participate, for whatever reason, they could remain seated and silent.
