Which goes back to my first statement:

"to back down from your principles in the face of adversity, is nothing more than surrendering to the will of others. "

If the administrator is religious and was 'principled' in his personal beliefs no amount of law suits would make him back down.

Irregardless of school 'policy'.

Sorry, working to posts at once.

Strike the 'religious' part.

Father-in-law was a school Principal after and during all this hullabaloo about God and free speech in the schools etc. etc. He continued to read from the Bible over the school intercom to the kids every morning of the year till he retired just recently. The school system would send him into the schools around the district to straighten out the mess other wimp principles were not able to fix (gangs, and just general trouble) Also carried a 45 automatic pistol with him. He was and still is a Hell of a man. WW-ll f-47 pilot. Would face down anything, anyone. Great Guy ! Need more like him around the country.

Hey, as they say If this Flag Offends You, You Need A History Lesson.

This speaks volumes of the woeful public education system in regards to American history. Kentucky was not one of the 11 Confederate States.

You are similarly mistaken in your own history. While Kentucky was not officially in the confederacy, it's sympathies in the war were split right down the middle and both sides controlled various parts of the state during the war. Kentucky's legislature officially declared itself neutral in the fight but the state sent thousands of soldiers into both armies.

Come on.

This is the United States.

Everybody KNOWS free speech only applies to homosexual radicals, communists, NAMBLA, atheists, illegal invaders, and nutjob Islamofascists.

It doesn't apply to any other classes.

Sort of like an extension of the "protected class" philosophy used in Affirmative Discrimination.
