I have never heard of this before.
Tomorrow is the annual "See You At the Pole" day at schools around the country. Students gather around the school's flag pole before school to pray together. A press release by the San Diego-based National Network of Youth Ministries says that the event "is a student-initiated and student-led movement that started in the Ft. Worth suburb of Burleson, Texas, in 1990. SYATP brings students to their school flagpoles to intercede for their leaders, schools, and families, asking God to bring moral and spiritual awakening to their campuses and countries." Churches encouraged the event by sponsoring special "Campus Challenge Sunday" commissioning services last Sunday. The SYATP website advertises a variety of resources available for "Pole" events. It also outlines the legal rights of students and others to participate. According to Florida Baptist Witness, any student who believes that his or her right to participate in a SYATP event has been infringed may contact Alliance Defense Fund for assistance.
