Students Allegedly Ordered to Stop Praying Outside Supreme Court Building By Todd Starnes Published July 15, 2010 \| FoxNews.com foxnews.com A group of Christian students was allegedly ordered to stop praying outside the U.S. Supreme Court building on May 5 because a court police officer told them it was against the law. The students were part of a junior high school American History class at Wickenburg Christian Academy in Arizona. After taking pictures on the steps of the Supreme Court building, their teacher gathered them to a side location where they formed a circle and began to pray. According to Nate Kellum, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, a police officer “abruptly” interrupted the prayer and ordered the group to cease and desist. “They were told to stop praying because they were violating the law and they had to take their prayer elsewhere,” Kellum told FOX News Radio. A spokesperson for the Court said the Marshal of the Court will look into the events alleged by the ADF. “The Court does not have a policy prohibiting prayer,” said public information officer Kathy Arberg in an email to FOX News Radio. So the group of 15 students and seven adults left the Supreme Court and relocated to a sidewalk – where Rigo said the children stood in a gutter – and continued their prayer.
