A Texas high school principal threatened to sabotage a valedictorian’s appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy after the student delivered a speech that referenced God and the U.S. Constitution, the boy’s attorney alleges. Hiram Sasser, director of litigation with the Liberty Institute, said Joshua High School principal Mick Cochran threatened to write a letter to the U.S. Naval Academy disparaging the character of Remington Reimer. “It was intimidating having my high school principal threaten my future because I wanted to stand up for the Constitution and

Somebody needs to take down this little Napoleon a few pegs.
Legally of course.
Sasser has just stepped outside of his pay grade...
Boy the little plants are coming to life aren’t they.
IMO, it’s the overt actions of men like this the government is hoping will start the rebellion, so they can discontinue all Amendment rights.
I still can’t believe this is conservative Joshua, the little town up the road from where I work.
If this news gets out extensively, there will be pitchforks and torches in this administrator’s near future.
"Public education: We got the country where it is today."
Well, it turns out that students will now have an actual, real “permanent record” now that they are all computerized and sent off to the NSA.
He looks loaded. Far out, man.
Most, but not all, Naval Academy nominations are sourced through the Congress. If this kid’s nomination was one of those, I would think the Congressman’s/Senator’s office would have to be consulted if his/her nomination was jeopardized by this stupidity.
Joshua High School principal Mick Cochran should be charged with official oppression and 1st amendment violations. Where is the so called ACLU when there is a real job for them?
If I were the boy’s daddy, I’d put this guy someplace the sun never shines.
Sasser needs a visit from some SEALS.
An attempt to disparage the character of a graduation speech because it mentioned the Constitution will doubtlessly disparage character - the ‘character’ of the commie educrat who wrote the letter.

Wrong. He needs something that can’t be said.
The evil are slayed in the Bible.
Why does the principal still have his front teeth? Why is the principles nose untouched? What is wrong with the people in the area where this happened?
God and The Constitution, eh? This guy’s had it.
Not anymore. Not by a long shot.
One peg will do. Or a stake.
