Majority status is not irrelevant, if that is the case the minority status should have equal power in govt. but it does not. The democrats dont have more power than the republicans in the house. Their will is not superior to the republicans (even though it appears that way).

Minority opinion in a democracy is allowed equal access but not equal status, otherwise you have anarchy and all would be considered equal regardless of the numbers.

You base your argement on the Christian girls First Amendment right to "free speech".

Do you support the Muslim girl's First Amendment right to make a call for Shahadah?

If not, please explain to be why the First Amendment would not apply to the rights of a minority.

Either a student has the "right" to advocate her personal beliefs at a commencement, or not.
