One of the men who forced Greencastle-Antrim School District to stop school board-led recitations of The Lords Prayer two years ago came back to apologize during last weeks regular meeting.
Ernest Perce told the school board he was sorry for his actions two years ago. He and another atheist, Carl Silverman, caused several school districts to drop public prayer. The two have since parted ways, and Perce said of his former ally, "He hates me."

One of the men who forced Greencastle-Antrim School District to stop school board-led recitations of The Lords Prayer two years ago came back to apologize during last weeks regular meeting.
Ernest Perce V, Harrisburg, had asked Supt. Greg Hoover for permission to speak at the Oct. 2 meeting. He arrived with his two sons and a friend, and when given the floor, explained his dramatic change of heart.
Wearing a white clergy collar against a black shirt, he said he was now a traveling preacher.
Every day I kick myself at what I did, Perce told the board members and public in attendance. Forgive me.

(33,982 posts)Because the complaint was valid and just.
How he feels about it is not relevant. He has nothing to apologize for.
