The Brandon High School Band’s performance for a recent football game during halftime was stopped after it was learned that the band had been slated to perform the hymn “How Great Thou Art.”
“It bothers me because you look at the schools and all of the school shootings and all the bad things that are happening, and wonder why. It’s because we’re allowing evil to step in,” parent Kimberly Moore said.
Judge Reeves said the district continued to promote Christianity during school hours after it agreed to stop. He fined the district $7,500 and again ordered it to stop sponsoring prayers at graduations, assemblies, athletic competitions and other school events.
The Rankin County School District and the Rankin County School Board felt the halftime performance of a church hymn would violate Judge Reeves’ order, and they could be fined another $10,000 per violation.
“I don’t fault our school district because I know they are trying to do what’s right as a community and for the school. But in one sense I don’t fault ’em and in another I’m like we gotta take a stand on behalf of Christ,” Moore said.
