The President of Free Speech Law School, a Public Law

question 12

True/False

The president of Free Speech Law School, a public law school in Florida, is preparing his address to the incoming class of first year law students that will be printed later on the first page of the Student Handbook. Each student will receive the handbook and is required to sign a form stating they have read and understood the contents of the entire handbook to complete registration and begin classes. The president's address begins with a prayer conferring a blessing upon the students for continued academic success. The prayer in the address does not violate the free speech of the students because the president is not a government actor.
