If they did nothing illegal what would there be to fight?

A lawsuit doesn't mean they did anything illegal. It means they are accused of doing something illegal. Very different.

The school was forced to stop their tradition because a group with more money, that does not live in the community, bullied them into stopping. It has nothing to do with rights or what is legal. It's about silencing religion and free expression.

I'm not offended by other religions or when someone says they are an atheist. Doesn't bother me in the least. Yet, one of the most vile things a group of students and parents can do is pray with a single atheist present.
