Neptune Graduation Will Take Place At Great Auditorium

Neptune Board Of Ed and ACLU Reach Compromise

By Art Gallagher

The Neptune Board of Education has agreed to cover religious signs and symbols in and outside of the Ocean Grove Great Auditorium, with the exception of the prominent cross on the building, and the ACLU has agreed not to take legal action to prevent the Neptune High School Class of 2011 graduation to take place at the auditorium, according to reports at Neptune Matters and Blog Finger.

The board agreed that this graduation and future ceremonies would be free of religious content, i.e., prayers and hymns.

The agreement clears the way for the 70 year Neptune tradition to continue.

The identity of the ACLU’s client has not been revealed.  The complainant has been identified only as the grandmother of a student who graduated last year.   MMM has narrowed the identity down to one of two women with the same  last name,  initial “B.” One an Eatontown resident, the other an Ocean Township resident.  So long as this agreement sticks, MMM will cease efforts to confirm the identity of the complainant.
