Dear Senator Cornyn:
I see you issued the following statement regarding Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery’s recent order prohibiting Medina Valley Independent School District from allowing public prayer at a high school graduation ceremony:
“As valedictorian of Medina Valley High School, Angela Hildenbrand has earned the right to deliver a graduation speech that is uncensored by a federal judge. The district court’s decision, to quote the late Chief Justice, bristles with hostility to all things religious in public life. This heavy-handed, activist decision is exactly the wrong civics lesson to teach to the Class of 2011 and it should be overturned by the Fifth Circuit.”
What do you mean by “activist decision”? Perhaps if you would explain your understanding of the popular term “judicial activism” that would clear up any confusion.
Thank you in advance for your candid response, which I will post on my blog.
Regards,
luridtransom
