Now if she thanked Allah, then that would have been just fine with the loons in the ACLU.

I'm Jewish and I say BRAVO. She worked hard and if she wants to thank G-d in her way, then please, she's earned the right. I cannot imagine any parent begruding. She has faith, that and a 4.7 GPA are to be admired.

[MizSterious]

Hah, I'll bet she'd have been able to finish her speech if only she'd flashed gang signs or talked about the wonders of Islam.

Brittany, wear a burkah next time. Then you'll be signing autographs.

“People aren't stupid and they know we have freedom of speech and the district wasn't advocating my ideas,” McComb said. “Those are my opinions.”

As so many are so fond of saying, the right to free speech does not guarantee the right to be heard.

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.

The audience applauded. Something to say for a predominantly black group of parents in a heavily democrat county.

As despicable as the school board's actions are, she knew it was coming. The honourable thing to do would be to tell the school board to find another valedictorian.

My favorite hat. I wear it everywhere. If I get any stares, I ask "What? You got some kind of beef with Switzerland?"

[BykrBayb]

McComb, who graduated with a 4.7 grade point average...

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

[Lexington Green]

Ain't ya'll heard? Jesus is against the law.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

If i had my way you would NOT BE ALLOWED to speak UNLESS YOU were HETEROsexual!!Normal is allowed,abnormal is not.

[Brilliant]

They recoil at the name of Christ like Dracula at the sight of a cross.

If goverment schools are in conflict with the First Amendment, then governmnet schools have to go, not the First Amendment.

It was a speech given by a student NOT a teacher.. She was asked to give a speech about HER THOUGHTS.. She wanted to express what helped HER to succeed.. Her mic was cut off, yet idiot actresses are allowed to rap at commencement speeches.. Had she recited the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, I'm sure that school would have had no problem!

[SkyPilot]

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

John 15: 18-19

“I think this is one of the most outrageous examples of censorship at graduation that I've seen,” Staver said to Agape Press. “For school officials to literally be standing by the switch at the mixing board and cut the microphone on a student, simply because that student mentions God or Jesus, is just unbelievable.”

[mcvey]

Education ping?

[nonliberal]

who knew it was coming

That is why you don't tell them.

[freekitty]

I have never heard anything so ridiculous or stupid in my life.
