12. They appear to be different schools

The video is from the Hollister middle school, and the article you link to. The still picture is from what looks like a high school judging by the age of pupils, and the only place I can find it is reddit - which just claims it's "Hollister High School".

If they really are both prayers in cafeterias in separate schools in the district, then it's a pattern, and not just the one-off "a student asked him to pray" it's explained away as in the article.

Even if the repeated prayers are normally student-led, it looks incredibly intimidating - it's not just people saying 'grace' over their own food, but taking up positions around the room to surround anyone who doesn't join in. It's the first stages of a cult.
