Maybe with a few more patriotic heroes like this we can get America back to its founding Christian roots, and stop the atheistic liberal fascist takeover

"The First Amendment prohibition on government endorsement of religion exists to protect the minority from the majority," said Marjorie R. Esman, ACLU of Louisiana executive director. "Freedom of religion belongs to everyone, not just those whose views may be more popular than others."

Ah...well spoken Marjorie. Except for one small thing. In citing the First Amendment, you neglected the second part which shoots very large .50 caliber holes in your argument;

"...nor the free exercise thereof."

Abolish government “education” (“indoctrination” is more accurate). End of problem.

I hope there’s video of this.

IN 2006 a young lady by the name of Brittany gave the valedictory speech at her graduation. Speakers must submit their speech prior to graduation for approval. She was told to rewrite it without the references to Jesus as her savior and inspiration. She agreed, then gave her original speech.

They cut the mike on her. The case gained national attention and Mark Levin wrote about her in his book, Liberty and Tyranny.

There were lawsuits regarding the incidence, but I can’t remember the outcome.

I love that she gave a short and sweet prayer, then invited the crowd to join her in the Lord’s Prayer. That way, had they cut the mike, the prayer was still heard.

Like I said, I hope there is video of this.

I would still like to know why praying isn’t speech or a segment of it.

"The First Amendment prohibition on government endorsement of religion exists to protect the minority from the majority,"

Who, then, protects my property from confiscation by the majority to fund their public, liberal indoctrination prisons for children? They can take my money so that freeloading parents can have someone teach their children that my religion is false? I have to pay twice if I want to give my child an established religious education?

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS A VIOLATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Laci’s bravery and love of God should be rewarded with and not condemned!

She will be rewarded by a new star in her crown in heaven above anything else!

I am humbled by her bravery and passion!

Obviously a *lawyer* who doesn't have a clue what the First Amendment says or means.

So, just who is protecting the majority from the tyranny of the minority? The ACLU are such hypocrites.

And just what are they being *protected* from? They might hear a prayer. Oh, the trauma.....

Those God haters need to get over themselves. Or if they don't want to hear about God, they can move to China, or Cuba, or NK, or any number of atheistic paradises.....

Everyone, Ms Esman? Everyone?

Guess that would include Laci Rae Mattice, wouldn't it, Ms. Esman?

Thank you for your kind support of freedom of religion for everyone!

Who is there to protect the majority from the tyranny of a minority?

The ACLU has something to learn about being the object of rebellion by the youth of America.
