Valedictorian Remington Reimer gained national attention after the microphone was turned off during his June 6 graduation speech, in which he admittedly veered from the text to talk about Christ’s “excruciating death on a cross so his blood would cover all our shortcomings …”
The Liberty Institute of Plano said Joshua High Principal Mick Cochran met with Reimer’s father, Todd, the day after the graduation and threatened to send a letter to the academy in Annapolis, Md., questioning his son’s moral character.
“Specifically, he threatened to send a letter to the United States Naval Academy where Remington will matriculate in June 2013, advising that Remington has poor character, or words to that effect,” wrote Hiram Sasser, the Liberty Institute’s litigation director.

Followed by an immediate ass-kicking from dad.
Where is this ‘Joshua’ place?.....
How dare he speak of Faith, Liberty and the Constitution!
FT Worth Tx
TEXAS??????????????...............OMG!.......What has happened to Texans?.............
All the major cities have major pockets of libtards.
If the kid gave his speech in this Tx town he would get a standing ovation.
Hmmm. Fascists in a school administration? Never heard of that before.

Memo to self: if ever summoned to such a meeting, bring a recording device.
Birds of a feather.......
So from reading the article, the school officials, who are threatening this young man, violated District policy by reviewing and forcing re-writes of his speech. If I were the father, I would let the wanna-be tin-pot dictator school official know that any further harassment of my son would bring about immediate legal action.
From personal experience, you would be amazed at how compliant these school Nazis get when some one actually stands up to them and threatens legal action.
Believe me, this principal is getting a mudhole stomped in him by the public.
“Mr. Cochran, it is YOUR “moral character” which is in question, by virtue to of your prior restraint, and your judgement as to which speech is unacceptable!”
“My son’s ‘moral charcter’ is just fine, thank you!”
Yup.
This guy really stepped in a fire ant mound.
Yes, and I’m quite sure that the leaders of the Naval Academy would want no part of a young man who believes in God, liberty and the Constitution. We certainly don’t want any future naval officers who stand up for their priciples and will defend God, liberty and the Constitution. /sarc
Noop.
No Siree Bob!
Public School
In my days before I reformed, I met an ingrate like this.
I asked him quite politely to stop, or I would feed him through the ‘chicken wired window’ (old school folks remember these).
We got on, after he realized what I had asked of him.
