A lawsuit challenging Greenville County Schools' use of prayer could skip trial and go straight to judgement.The American Humanist Association's Appignani Humanist Legal Center filed for summary judgement Wednesday, meaning the group believes the court should rule in its favor because the facts in the case are undisputed.In September 2013, the American Humanist Association’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center filed the lawsuit against the school district on behalf of an Upstate family, because it didn't get an adequate response to a letter sent to Mountain View Elementary in Taylors.According to a statement from the Humanist Association, the lawsuit described Christian prayers being offered at the elementary school’s graduations, which were held at the chapel of the religiously affiliated North Greenville University, a school with a logo that contains the sectarian phrase “Christ Makes the Difference.”“Numerous cases make clear that public schools, particularly elementary schools, must strictly maintain the separation of church and state and must not include prayer in school-sponsored events such as graduation ceremonies,” Appignani Humanist Legal Center attorney Monica Miller said in a statement to WYFF News4. “Given that this school district has been including prayers in its elementary school graduation ceremonies since 1951 and has recently been holding the ceremonies in a Christian chapel of a Christian university, we ask that the court grant judgment in our favor.”The lawsuit requests that the court rule that the inclusion of prayer as part of the school district's graduation ceremonies violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment and that it was a violation of the family's constitutional rights.The lawsuit also requests that the court prevent the school district from endorsing prayer and hosting graduations in a chapel.The Humanist Association is also asking for damages of $1 for violating the family's rights and for an award covering "reasonable costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees."Greenville County Schools spokesman Oby Lyles released this statement to WYFF News4:"The District’s position and response to the American Humanist Association has been consistent.  The law supports the District’s practice that students who are selected to speak based upon neutral criteria, such as academic performance, have the First Amendment right to speak from either a religious or secular perspective.  The law also supports the District’s use of a building owned by another organization, including a college affiliated with a religion, for legitimate reasons such as accommodating spectators without unconstitutionally endorsing religion.  Our legal counsel is reviewing the motion that was filed today, and we can strongly state that we do not agree with the organization’s blanket statements about the District.We remain confident of our position in maintaining an educational environment, including an awards program, in which individuals are treated with equal dignity and respect regardless of religion or faith.  The District will continue to defend its neutral stance on religion that results from the obligation to balance the First Amendment’s prohibition of promoting religion with the protected ability for individuals to express themselves from a religious perspective."
