Valedictorian leads school in Lord's Prayer at graduation after senior class is told to stop it

Valedictorian leads school in Lord's Prayer at graduation after senior class is told to stop singing it by secular foundation
The Freedom of Religion Foundation told Ohio school to end its tradition.
Every graduation, the choir would lead a version of the Lord's Prayer
But it was cancelled because of the organization's threat of legal action
However, the graduating class Sunday broke into an impromptu rendition
The valedictorian at an Ohio high school spearheaded an act of defiance during his graduation, leading his entire senior class into a recitation of the Lord's Prayer.
For 70 years the choir at East Liverpool High School sang the Christian prayer at every commencement ceremony.
But the prayer was removed the ceremony after the Freedom from Religion Foundation threatened legal action against the school.
The Wisconsin-based nonprofit said the tradition infringed on the separation of church and state, and the school knew it didn't have the funds to fight back.
'We said, "Okay, we just won't do it anyone'", school board president Larry Walton told WTOV.
'It was a decision made because we don't have a lot of money and we'd rather hire teachers than pay lawyers.'
But the decision didn't sit well with the Class of 2016.
'I know a lot of my student body was uncomfortable with it, just because it is tradition to have prayer at our school,' Cami Post, the class vice president, said before the ceremony.
'I think it would've been nice to have the same as my brother had when he graduated.'
The students were met with a standing ovation after they finished the prayer.
