We still have Freedom of Speech and the Free Exercise of Religion --- but only if we use our Free Speech to Exercise our Religion.

Bravo to Valedictorian Roy Costner IV.

The only disappointing thing was that I didn't see the people on the podium saying the Lord's Prayer along with him.

I say it again: Freedom, Use It Or Lose It.

Good for that kid!

He struck a blow for two freedoms at once

The purpose of government schools is to condition absolute obedience to Cass Sunstein and his fellow travelers.

They aren't going to like this.

The demon possessed empty husks at the Freedom From Religion Foundation will regret their actions 100 years from now.

I guarantee it.

There have been some schools that withheld the speaker’s dipolma for doing this. Good for this district for letting it go.

Hallelujah!

I’m going to stop reading any news today and try to keep my mind on this. It is the only encouragement I’ve seen in a long, long time.

Just for today, I want to hide.

I’m weary.

we’re not going to punish students for expressing their religious faiths,

Who's got the pool on how long THAT lasts?

Good for him! Our school’s graduation ceremony included a prayer...a very nice prayer thanking Our Father for all of His blessings. The response was overwhelmingly in favor, as far as I could tell (fairly large graduating class).
