ANDERSON — A federal judge today denied a humanist association’s motion for a preliminary injunction to block the Greenville County school district from allowing prayers as part of any school-sponsored event or events to be held in churches or other places of worship. Senior U.S. District Judge G. Ross Anderson Jr., at a court hearing here, said the American Humanist Association’s allegations against the school district lacked proof and were “making a mountain out of a mole hill.” The judge also told an attorney for the association that “with all due respect and apologies” he had never heard of the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, founded in 1941. Anderson called the association’s charges against the school district bold “and disturbing.” Aaron Kozloski, a South Carolina attorney representing the association, reiterated in court what the group alleged against the school district in its federal lawsuit — that school officials improperly held an elementary school graduation in North Greenville University’s chapel.
