As despicable as the school board's actions are, she knew it was coming. The honourable thing to do would be to tell the school board to find another valedictorian.
I disagree-- the honorable thing to do would be to educate
the school-- mention of the name of Jesus christ is NOT any
violation of the First amendment. The crooked Courts led
by the transmisison belt to Soviet Communist dictatorship
(the ACLU) hav deliberately mis interpreted-and misapplied
the First Amendmentfor years now declaring what is NOT seen
and Never was the intent of the men who wrote that document,
as if their imagination is LAW.When "We the people"allowed
the unjust Judges act as gods-and gave them rule over us --
we ceased to be worthy of the name The United States of America.
Just roll over and accept the P.C. crap huh?? She did the right thing...this kind of thing needs to be opposed at every turn.
I have to disagree.
The fact that it was obvious to the audience why the mic was cut, and she continued her speech without most of the audience being able to hear her was quite a memorable event for those present.
It was a probably a more effective witness than it would have been if she had been allowed to make the speech without censorship, and certainly more so than handing off to the second string.
Christians have too often allowed ourselves to be silenced because we're told, often by those who know absolutely nothing about the Christian life, that it's the honorable/polite/Christian thing to do.
Jesus didn't hide when He needed to point out wrong doing, using terms like "vipers" and comparing people to a sarcophagus that is white on the outside but full of rotting, foul flesh on the inside.
It's a tactic that has worked all too well in keeping Christians "in their place" for far too long, IMO.
