"Anyone can pray in school, at any time. No problem." Not true. Locally
the
valedictorian of a couple of years ago was censured for bringing up God
in
his speech. He earned the right to give his speech by having the best
grades in the class. If another person had brought up HIndu's Shiva or
Mohammed in his speech, would he have been censured? This is
graduation.
The winner gets to make a speech. It is their work, not anything
demanded
by the school or the government. What is your spin to this?


The school sets the rules, picks the speakers and, if it wishes,
outlines the criteria for using its forum.

No one prevented that student from praying to himself or herself.

He talked about God in his life, not praying. You still can not comprehend
what you read. And they picked the speaker via who has the best GPA. HE
earned the right to speak.
