So would you restrict this girl’s religious expression, because in your world you think religious views belong only in certain times or places? Why do you get to decide? When is the right time or place for religious expression? Would you restrict religious speech to home and church? What's the point of having religious freedom if you cannot live your faith in public places?

Christian students are Christians 100% of the time. They might offer prayers in restaurants, encourage their children to act like Christ at fairs, or say "Praise God" aloud at work when they get a job promotion. That's what religious freedom looks like in a free society. If others think that is inappropriate, they are free to behave differently.

I understand that legal precedent forbids governmental institutions from proselytizing. But in this situation, everyone in the audience realized this girl was not speaking as an agent of the state. She was a Christian student, saying Christian things on a public forum in a free society. The school's going to lose this one.
