This is much more typical than it should be, sadly. I feel awful for the non-christian students who won't get a ceremony now. :(

It's sixth graders, I doubt they care that much.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

.......explaining that the school’s decision to cancel was justified because “we just want to take a stand for God because we felt like out rights were taken away.”

Conceding that not everyone is Christian at the school, Adams added: “I realize they have rights too but you can’t take rights away from one group and give it to another.”

Of course that's not "rights".  It's privilege.

They want to be able to have a graduation ceremony that endorses their specific beliefs and if they can't have it, then EVERYONE  should suffer for it.

Kelly, along with other parents, have arranged to hold an alternative ceremony at a nearby church, where they will be free to pray. ”We are including everyone, everyone is invited, we want everyone to come and be a part of it,” she said of the decision to relocate.

Yes Jews and Muslims and Pagans and Atheists.  You can still come to our CHRISTIAN Church where you can be made ot feel liek a complete outsider to a ceremony supposedly about you.

How could anyone object?!
