The Channel 5 segment from last night regarding the invocation issue...

There is a little unfortunate editing that was done to this piece. Before saying that it was an unintended consequence of open government and living in a digital age, I said that the Commission did their job. They let this person, from whatever non-religious background he was coming from, access to the podium. Regardless whether they walked out or not, his message is being heard by a lot of people. The video is at about 225,000 views as of today.
We need to re-think the invocation part of our agendas and, at a minimum, switch to a moment of silence, if not drop the practice entirely. Check out this post where I quickly researched other Palm Beach County municipalities regarding their practices.
