198. In the rural areas of the bible-belt, Baccalaureate services are held in public schools.

Usually held sometime in the week before graduation, these religious themed services are held on school property, led by a selected local preacher, and required to be attended by students who wish to "walk" at graduation.

Happens at my old high school every year, and at every high school we ever played basketball against. Illegal? You bet, but that doesn't stop them. Who's gonna stand up for the First Amendment rights of the superminority in a place like that?
