Complaint raised over Lumberton school led prayer [View all]
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has sent a letter to Lumberton ISD administration raising concerns about a prayer led at a kindergarten graduation.
The June 3 letter, addressed to Superintendent John Valastro, states that a "serious violation" of the First Amendment occurred when the Lumberton Early Childhood School principal led students and their parents in a prayer before the graduation ceremony began.
The organization was contacted by a parent who has a student enrolled in the district, according to the letter.
The district's attorney, Curtis Soileau, said the district hasn't responded to the organization but is taking the letter seriously.
Soileau said the district wants to be in compliance with the law and the Constitution.
