A scumbag little terrorist-wanabe complains and everyone drops trow and obliges ... how sick. Why not just exlude this terrorist in waiting from these school activities.
And by the way, if she is a devout muslime, what is she doing in school ... school is not for girls! Put your burka on and stay at home.

Seems like it is the majority that needs protecting nowadays.

Okey, dokey. Then why can't some students begin prayers on their own? Or the families in the audience? Valedictorian and Salutatorian could also send out prayers. Each organization representative handing out scholarships could do the same. By the end, smarty pants Arshiya and the ACLU will have more prayers than if they'd just let it alone.

I've always felt the same way - until now. I have zero respect for Islam.

"Arshiya said she understands that student speakers at Shelby County also might include a prayer in their remarks, but she hopes they will respect her objections to the formal prayer."
And here we have the many bowing to the will of the one. A prayer is not offensive. If you don't agree, or pray to that God, don't participate. There is no constitutional right to not be offended.
Consider the message this sends to our young people. We scrap an honored tradition, because a muslim finds it offensive. They will use our system against us, and bring us down.

I have zero respect for Iislam.
I make it a point not to capitalize anything to do with islam. It is a death cult. I've read enough about it, it's beyond no respect. I see islam as an evil death cult. I have no tolerance for it, nor it's practictioners.

Last week, a court ordered a Russell County High School student who had been designated to pray at graduation not to do so. Students rose on their own and recited the Lord's Prayer during the principal's remarks. The student who had been designated to lead the prayer included religious messages in her remarks to graduates. That option is absolutely protected under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and there is nothing the Judge can do about it.
The Muslim student can say her own prayer but neither she nor the ACLU nor the Judge can stop student initiated prayer that is not part of the official program.

"There is no constitutional right to not be offended."
This bears repeating and repeating again.
I wonder, however, if the Muslims would use the same argument to get call to prayer allowed? I don't know about you, but the sound of that would scare me to death.

All christians, regardless of denomination, know the Lord's Prayer ("tresspasses" vs. "sins", being the only difference).
Actually the bast translation of the word is debts and not trespass, but I digress.
What the students need to do is stand up at the beginning of the ceremony and have one of their own lead a prayer ending with "in Jesus name...".
I'd pay good money to see the look on the ACLU lawyer's face.

Its disgusting.
Another reason why Islam and western civilization - or civilization in general are incompatible.
The entire school should ignore the judge, the ACLU and the student.
What are they going to do? Put them all in jail? So what? Its "civil disobedience" - remember that one? We acts of "civil disobedience" to idiotic Court edicts - just as was one back in the segregation days.
Only such actions will save the America we once knew and put a stop to these maniacal judges.
