328. That is not a great example.
"The ambiguity was that even at a school sponsored event you could have activities that weren't directly controlled or sponsored by the school. Therefore, as long as the prayer was the students' idea and student led then it wasn't a school activity per se. Sort of the same idea that you could have a student group meet in the cafeteria for prayer without its being a state sponsored prayer group. "

There is no ambiguity. The law and precedence is clear. A religious group may be run and run on school property BUT not a single school employee can be involved in it in ANY way. This is not the case in a graduation ceremony where faculty, staff and administration are present and take part in it. If the graduation ceremony had zero staff in any way shape or form involved then you would have a point.
