If you read her remarks, she went well beyond giving credit to Christ and her faith for her success, she was proselytizing, evangelizing. IMHO, that has no place in a public high school commencement address.

When it was Corder's turn, she encouraged the audience to get to know Jesus Christ.

I don't know if this was all the remarks she made about Christ, but do you really find this inappropiate? Name one thing about Jesus, The Christ, which is insulting? It amazes to me we have to have these discussion about Jesus because people are too ignorant to go look in the most published book ever to find out about what he stands for. If she ask people to get to know JFK, George Washington, or Mother Theresa would you have a problem with that? Why would any one have a problem about Jesus, when he is so much more righteous than any of these?

There is absolutely no law, nor any insult that prohibits people in any public setting from discussing or evangelizing about Jesus Christ, if you don't like it, leave.

There is a difference between rights and doing what’s appropriate. Commencement is supposed to be an occasion to celebrate the achievements of the graduates, not a time for proselytizing. You should understand that by you’re remark that if she says anything someone doesn’t like, they can leave. Really? People only graduate once, and friends and relatives travel to join in the celebration. It’s not a time to be in someone’s face trying to persuade them to change their religion.
