					<description><![CDATA[Seems like I heard something about this, or a similar case, but the prayer took place before the meeting was officially open.  So they argued that they were just citizens praying together.  Ironically, they had a man arrested for interrupting their prayer citing that he was being disruptive DURING the meeting.  How was he disrupting the meeting if it hadn&#039;t yet begun?

Then there was one where a town council in Florida tried to kick an atheist group out of the meeting and threatened to employ police to enforce their demand if they didn&#039;t comply with the councils request that they cover up the message on their shirts or change clothes.  According to a councilman, some people watching from home found the shirts offensive (white T-shirts with the words &quot;One nation, indivisible.  Atheists of Florida&quot; written on a background of the American flag).  

&quot;[councilman] King indicated that the shirts were in violation of council policy. He further warned that if the shirts were still visible, anyone wearing the attire would be asked to leave and if necessary, Cape Coral police would be employed to enforce the demand.&quot;  After asking the council to produce the policy that prohibited their attire, they were told the shirts &quot;should be okay.&quot;]]></description>
