Two Pace High School officials walked out of the Federal District Court House in Pensacola Thursday, Sept. 17, cleared of contempt charges by U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers after an emotional trial brought to court by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of two students challenging the First Amendment. The suit charged that Pace High Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman willingly violated a federal court order prohibiting school officials from offering prayer during school activities.
