>>if you are so offended with someone professing their faith, in a brief statement, then perhaps you should practice a little more tolerance. I cant believe that the PC types like yourself are so damn offended by someone showing their faith.<<

She wasn't professing her faith, she was asking others to join hers.
At a meeting in the school, fine. At a gradution ceremony, it is tactless.
Wiccan, Muslim, Christian or Jewish, asking others to join in does not belong in this setting.

She was doing both. It is tactless to you but not to others. If the community is 98% Christian they have no obligation to set aside their beliefs. What else is off limits - Im sure we could come up with other things. It definitely belongs in this settting - what do you make laws in this country? I thought we are a Republic and last I looked it wasnt in the Constitution that this type of speech was banned. Or perhaps you believe in an evolving constitution.
