2013 School Prayer Controversy

On May 3, 2013, Atlanta news outlet WSB-TV reported on "controversy brewing" about an impromptu six-hour prayer meeting held in the gymnasium at Lumpkin County High School for a student who had brought questions about his religious beliefs to his weightlifting coach. The report stated that around 50 students started a text messaging campaign to encourage students to go to the gym to hold what WSB-TV called a "sort of revival meeting on campus in the middle of the day." According to the report, three to four teachers were also present at the event, which lasted from 7:30 a.m. into the afternoon. At least one teacher abandoned his or her classroom to attend the event.[4][5] In a videotaped interview, Lumpkin County School District Superintendent Dewey Moye said that the school's assistant principal put a stop to the meeting and ordered the participants back to class. Moye went on to say that he'd met with school administrators to educate them about "equal access law" (regarding organized religious activities on campus during school hours).
