School Cancels Graduation Over Prayer Controversy

Riverside School District has canceled sixth grade graduation ceremonies following a threatening letter received from the Freedom From Religion Foundation out of Wisconsin.

The letter alleges that student-lead prayer at graduation ceremonies is unconstitutional, and threatens to file suit against the school if the prayer is permitted.

This marks yet another run-in Arkansas schools have had with the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and another instance of the group using threatening letters to try to squelch religious expression.
