What if the band pretends to play the song and the crowd simply sings it? Will the judge ban the band from pretending to play, also?

Sure, and money is the bottom line, even though this federal action is still barred by the Constitution. But if you’re going to stand up to the feds, of course, you have to already be prepared for financial independence from the feds. But that should be embraced by every freedom-loving state.
First of all, isn’t INDEPENDENCE from tyranny and oppressive regimes the basis for the founding of America to begin with?
And secondly, if a state were smart, kept state government and taxes to a minimum, and let the market economy free of government interference run things, pretty soon that state would be financially more healthy than the bankrupt feds. If tiny, resource-poor Hong Kong sitting on a rock peninsula can do it, any state can do it.

Another perfect example of why the Department of Education should be shuttered and Federal Taxes reducedThat sounds great. I'm all for it.
What botheres me is that all these singing townspeople are just lifting their heads up from the feeding trough to complain how the slop tastes.

I can’t say what I think and wish for.
Woolverines, comes to mind. No compassion, no prisioners, no quarter.

I understand the spirit of what they are doing, but they're hypocrites.

Yes, well, the colonies also took from England until they said, “ENOUGH!”

The feds have NO constitutional authority to interfere with private or state freedom of religion.
Actually, they do. The 14th Amendment: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; . . . nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
This changes the 1st Amendment from "Congress shall make no law . . ." to include the States. And the 'equal protection' clause means that no governmental entity - including a school - can abridge one's free exercise of religion. Which includes atheists . . . who would be 'forced' to endure something against their religion if their tax dollars (including local tax dollars, it's not limited to federal taxes) are 'establishing' a religious exercise with which their own religion (self love, basically) is in conflict.
I don't have to like it, but that's what the words say. One way to look at that is if the muslims demanded that the band get out their prayer blankets and pray to Mecca during the half time, would we consider that a bad thing? I would.
On the other hand, if a bunch of local people just decided to freely exercise their *own* religion - which is what happened - then the courts have no authority to tell them not to. Nor do the school systems have any authority to tell a valedictorian what he/she can say in a speech.
Of course, like a lot of statist nonsense, this is all one way. Christians are prohibited from the free exercise of our religion, but none of the other faith-based doctrines - including state socialism - are limited at all.
I think we need to get state socialism/secular humanism recognized for what it is - a religion. Then we can use these same rulings to get a lot of their faith-based doctrines (because their sure isn't any objective proof of them) out of our schools.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Simple situation —
The Tenth deprives the Federal Government any say in this.
Any.
A locale, therefore, can play any tune it wants.
But —
If a Muslim song is played, ugh.
Be careful of what you want. What if the Muslim population of a high school district wants Muslim tunes played? You can’t be for majority rule one minute and not the next.

“What botheres me is that all these singing townspeople are just lifting their heads up from the feeding trough to complain how the slop tastes.”
Yes, they need a serious dose of reality! People have gotten so used to injustice from the black robed MF’s that they don’t think they can do anything about it. They should be in front of this bastards’ home with torches and some ropes. And the question to him should be: “do you feel lucky today!”
