Professor Bans Students From Thanking God At Graduation Ceremony : News : University Herald
Does some Professor's preference trump 1st Amendment? Does he plan to enforce this ban?
" You can't thank God. I'm sorry about this - and I don't want to have to outline the reasons why."
Hvastkovs told Campus Reform he sent the email banning giving thanks to God after too many students recognized religious figures during last year's event.
"It's not a religious ceremony," Hvastkovs said. "it's purely educational."
The ban is not a school policy.
"It's more of a departmental thing, we have a diverse student body," he said.
