ODESSA, TEXAS - Students, parents and people from the community protested in front of the Ector County ISD administration building on Monday afternoon.

The protest comes just days after the district announced some changes during graduation ceremonies involving prayer.

With signs, megaphones and their faith, the group took to the streets and protested for prayer.

"This is my faith and I will stand for my faith no matter what it takes," Louvdie PiƱa, a senior at Odessa High School, said.

"Christians also have rights and it's time someone stood up for those rights," Allen Sutphen, an Odessa resident, said.
