A South Carolina school district under pressure to keep prayer out of meetings and gatherings got an unexpected delivery from one high school valedictorian.
Liberty High valedictorian Roy Costner IV took his speech to the podium, and in front of the crowd, tore it up.

After speaking for a few minutes, he thanked his parents for leading him to the lord at a young age, and then he said, “I think most of you will understand when I say, ‘our father, who art in heaven…” as he began to recite the lord’s prayer.
Much of the crowd broke into tentative applause that then grew into cheers that nearly drown out Costner’s voice as he continued the prayer.
