I imputed no motives to her at all.

A. She agreed to the edits the school made.

B. When she took the stage, she didn't honor the edits.

She may have lied. She may have just changed her mind. I don't know and never suggested I did.

What we do know for sure is that her behavior inexorably reneges on point A.

Of course I'm judgmental - she promised to give one speech and then showed disrespect when she decided to give a different speech. That's wrong. She didn't honor her word. I'm judgmental about that, of course.

And that's not illogical at all.

The only personal insult I have flogged on her is that I think she didn't honor her promise. Her status as an obnoxious pest stems from that conduct.

Like I said, I wouldn't have made the edits the school made. Based on what I have read, I don't find those comments problematic at all.

Well, IMHO, respect is an earned thing; even respect for certain institutions. I believe that speech is generally is far, far too highly censored these days. Mentioning Christ? this is wrong? Come on, I think there are many here who would even go so far as to say that her right to mention God (Christ) supersedes man's attempt at editing.

This goes way beyond a broken promise.

Where does it say she agreed to anything? She was intimidated into not saying anything back to the school authorities, but that's about it.

When she took the stage, she didn't honor the edits.

Wrong. When she took the stage, she realized she no longer had anything to fear from those who had intimidated her.

she promised to give one speech

Again, show me in the article where she FREELY promised to give the edited speech.

The reality is, the school authorities acted totally outside the boundaries of that which is allowed by law. They should all be fired.
