"Maybe the liberal troll didn't see it. Try again."

There is none, but that's the first time I've ever been told by a conservative "F-U" over a dumb one-liner. I've been called things, but nothing like I've been called by liberals. Those John Kerrey tapes are getting popular I guess.

Straining at gnats while swallowing camels. How does that fat hump taste?

The honourable thing to do would be to tell the school board to find another valedictorian

Just roll over and accept the P.C. crap huh?? She did the right thing...this kind of thing needs to be opposed at every turn.

Do not assume she lied until you know everything that took place in the conversation. Her response could have been something like "uh huh, I hear, I see."

They agreed to let her give the edited version. She decided to go with the original version knowing they said they would cut her off if she did. She lied to the school officials. It's OK for a Christian to lie to others to get her way? Gee, kinda' sounds like something out of the Qu'ran to me. I guess "Good Christians" and Muslims are more alike than we think.

Still, what did would it hurt anyone? It's a graduation speech. How many people remember what is said at them anyways? It seems people are more anticipating the ending of the meeting anyways.

At my daughter's graduation here in Prince George's County, Maryland, the saluatorian mention God and the valvictorian gave her speech in the form of a letter to God, and closed it with thanks to her favorite 'man' for guiding her and helping make her what she is, Jesus.

God bless her! What an awesome witness to our Lord and Savior.

She lied. End of story.

OK, one more time. She claims to be a good Christian but lied to the school officials.

She lied.

Do you have the correspondence between them? You are in danger of having lied yourself.

She should have mentioned she would say the reference, but this is something that didn't have to blow up. A solution could have been worked out. My brother mentioned God in his high school graduation speech and nobody batted an eye.

She admits to it in the original story. She said she agreed to give the edited version and then changed her mind and decided to give the original version.

I can only go by what she said. Oh, what am I saying. She is a lier. Maybe she lied to the press also.

Actually, I've spotted a sleeper on this thread, that has been trolling other threads too. He/she opposes freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to life.

Agreed. Based on this story, we really don't know exactly what was said or if or what she may have "agreed."

It's really despicable that the ACLU has this school so cowed that they give them the right to censor speeches.

She is the kind of person I love to see in high schools. Back home the kids from our congregation are often among the top students (3 of the top 4 this year). They serve as wonderful examples to other students and bring many to Christ.

The press misreports significant facts at an astonishing rate.

Straight A's will only get you 4.0. How do you get a 4.7 GPA?

Take a lot of Advanced Placement courses. A lot of schools, even though on a 4-point scale, will count a 5 on an AP course as being above A and will average it accordingly

Allah "is" Satan's Nom de plume.

Puhlease! The word "Allah" is Arabic for God. One finds this word in all christian liturgical services where the language is Arabic.

A lot of kids here do very well on AP tests. They're a good thing to do.
