It's unconstitutional to do so even though those who want public prayer
are restricted from freely exercising their own religion.

But the problem comes when they try and censor the valedictorian from
mentioning her faith and how it helped her achieve her goals. (As
several courts have done over the years.) The Constitution does not
prohibit the mere mention of religion in public spaces.

As long as she doesn't lead the congregation in prayer, I don't see how
a bright line has been crossed about either Establishment or Free
Exercise.
