Sue the school district, City and (individually) the Principal and School Board members. Do what the left would do and do it harder.
To: lightman
Years ago when a similar situation came up, the audience on cue, sneezed together at the end of the Val’s speech, who then, very loudly, yelled, “GOD BLESS YOU” to the roar of the crowd.
She should do this.

“Need to be mindful”
That sounds like a good title for a Valedictorian speech and she could encourage the principal to be mindful of the first amendment as she avails herself of those rights.

Mindfulness is a part of some other religion. Is that what the principal wants this young lady to practice? I’m so confused.

Be mindful of the First Amendment.
Be mindful of the First Commandment.

Give the speech anyways. When they cut the mic pull out a megaphone and continue. If they try to escort her off have some football players on standby to surround her.

Graduation gowns are great for concealing bullhorns.

The principal needs to be reminded that God is in charge of her very next breath.

“...or prohibit the free exercise thereof...”
These administrators have never read the Constitution nor do they support its rights guaranteed to adults and children alike.

Principal Amy Goldsmith seems to be a special member of a special group who hates common people outside her special group. Sad. The student is correct: He alone gives us joy.

Make sure video cameras are rolling.
Deliver the speech as she wants
Make them run onto the stage and shut it down on camera.
