BTW it is a mature answer - if you are so offended with someone professing their faith, in a brief statement, then perhaps you should practice a little more tolerance. An invitation to an altar call, right smack dab in the middle of a public school graduation ceremony is not "a brief statement" and it goes beyond "professing their faith." It is evangelization and prosyltezation. It does not belong in this setting.
Everyone keeps givng clear counterexamples, but no one wants to admit that they would feel the other way if a Wiccan or Muslim was inviting people to convert while you were just waiting to catch a photo of your son getting his diploma.
I cant believe that the PC types like yourself are so damn offended by someone showing their faith. I suspect that you are all for tolerance and diveristy mantra except for Christians?
Listen, I've said three times, now four, otherwise. If you want to discuss this with me, please read what I have said. I am not the strawman you insist on beating up.

"but no one wants to admit that they would feel the other way if a Wiccan or Muslim was inviting people to convert while you were just waiting to catch a photo of your son getting his diploma."
Why should they? Are Wiccans, Satanists or Sun worshippers a majority of the public? Did they found this govt? Was it there religion that provided for our Bill of Rights and constitution? We (America) are under no obligation to subjugate the will of the majority with the concerns of the few. Perhaps she could of done it elsewhere but she didnt - freedom of speech should not be seen as a personal offense if it is not intended as such. Otherwise the slippery slope will take us to banning speeches altogher, or worse.
