Once again, the school district and the ACLU have totally distorted the concept of PROSTELYZING.
If the valedictorian was asking or encouraging fellow students to switch to her religion, then that would be PROSTELYZING.
If she was simply telling the audience what was important in her life, AS SHE WAS, then she was simply giving a good valedictorian speech.
Why do these public school elitists hate Christianity so.
My guess this would be the ACLUs stance if some pulled the plug on Freerepublic.com as well! What a bunch of A-holes.
Joseph McCarthy would have known how to deal with this subversive trash!The a.c.l.u.is a threat to the good and patriotic people of this country.All they represent is their own agenda and the people they can use to further it.
Amazing.
I say "pull the plug" on the part of property taxes that go to public schools.
ACLU: Free speech. As long as it's speech we agree with....
BUMP!
Stop the scumbag Democrat athiests of the ACLU.
I said it before and will say it again, every alcu member should be hanged from the nearest telephone pole or tree as befits the traitors they are.
Yes, student speech being nongovernmental, it was wrong to cut her off. You might not hear that a lot, though, out of fear it will be used to justify letting some people's religion slither back into public education.
Was there anyone at the graduation who was offended by her comments besides the school officials and the ACLU?
The ACLU would be extremely busy in the South. Almost every graduation ceremony I attend becomes an altar call.
Well thank God they didn't pull the plug on a Muslim! the ACLU would have been screaming "Free speech" from the top of their socialist little lungs!
