Students should by all means, carry bullhorns. There was another ‘school’ some years ago, that pulled the same crap on the student. It didn’t turn out so well for the student because they cut the mic. Leftists are out of control and need to be slapped down a few notches.

[[“Students retain their constitutional rights to freedom of expression from elementary school all the way through the graduation ceremony. All public schools should protect the private religious expression of their students.”]]

exactly!

That's what I say. "Orders" my ass. She's not coming back to that dump anyhow. If that principle or another stooge makes a move against her they're only damaging themselves, not her. They seem to have a tin ear for the steadily growing backlash against these soviet school boards and administrators.

Seems that a lot of school administrators barely passed “School Law 101.”...or thought that the First Amendment applied to anyone else.

"Sue the school district, City and (individually) the Principal and School Board members. Do what the left would do and do it harder."

Principal should be fired. She should also be expelled from this country. So SICK of Marxists.

But kudos to the student for standing up for her Constitutional right to express herself.

Say, “Yes, ma’am”, then walk out there and read what you originally wrote. What are they going to do????

Yup- they may think they are trying to avoid a constitutional issue because they don’t know the law, but they are really creating one

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.

Aw, Falcon is trying to be coy. And doing a LOUSY job of it, I might add. Might that "special group" to which you refer be JEWS? And you assert that Jews "hate common people outside their special group"? Got any hard evidence for this broad statement? And then you have the nerve to state that "He" "alone" gives us joy?

Guess what? Your entity, whom you refer to as "He" is not the sole giver of joy. In OTHER religions, in which "He" is not an element, there are other deities whom the devotees of those religions believe gives THEM joy. You don't need Buddha to give YOU joy, and people of other religions--including that "special group" you stupidly think we can't identify--don't need your special entity to give them joy.

Better keep the day job, buddy. Your career as an attempted sly commentator just crashed and burned.

Guess “... nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof” isn’t a thing in America anymore...

Turn off the mic.

Which is why graduation gowns are great for concealing bullhorns.

Now if in said speech, their was cursing in God’s name, guaranteed that would be okay.

Last night in South Texas, the young girl graduate chosen to open Graduation Ceremony with prayer, began and ended it with the sign of the cross. The kids then did pledge to Country and to Texas and sang the Star Spangled Banner. I have never seen 360 happier, wholesome looking kids. Totally respectful evening.

Like clockwork, this scenario is repeated every single graduation year at schools across the land.
Get a clue, teachers, many kids do not wish to scrub all mentions of The Lord from their personal expression.
How about showing some of that ‘love and tolerance’ for them?

I wonder if the school administration would have censored her Valedictorian Address if she had begun it by proudly declaring that she is a pre-operative non-binary Lesbian looking forward to conceiving via artificial insemination - all while waving a "Rainbow Flag?" If she had declared that men cornholing each other is an "expression of love?"

We all know the answer: It would have been: Crickets!

Regards,
