(CNN) -- Two Florida school administrators face contempt charges and possible prison time for saying a prayer at a school luncheon.

...the American Civil Liberties Union...maintains that students have a right to be free from administrators foisting their religious beliefs on them.

...Glenn Katon, director of the Religious Freedom Project for the ACLU of Florida...

"The moral of this story is, for us, this is about the students' right to be free from teachers and school administrators thrusting upon the students their religious beliefs," Katon said. "They keep talking about the religious rights of the administrators, but the administrators and the principals don't have any right to trumpet their religious beliefs in a school setting."
