What would they do to her ???

1965 - Just Turn the public schools over to the democrats and other anticonstitutionalists - What could possibly go wrong?
She could always read from a coin.
a govt employee telling a citizen what they can and cannot say.
the very definition of censorship.
ORDERED? Do it young lady do it!
I was thinking about this. Rewrite the speech the way the admin wants, then give a speech about censorship and the attempted removal of God by people like the school admin. Either they get to complete the speech, or imagine the optics of a school official trying to forcibly remove the student from the stage as they give their address
Why, it’s on our money; in our pledge of allegiance.
DON’T GIVE IN!!! STAND UP FOR GOD!!
NOT EDUCATE TEM!!
I stopped reading when I got to Goldsmith.
This surprises me in Hillsdale, Michigan. The area is a very conservative, rural community. I guess despots are deeper entrenched than I thought.
Change it to Allah and resubmit
If she spoke of Allah, it would be just fine I’m sure.
“...Michigan. So Allah or Satan would have been fine…”
I’m actually surprised the student wasn’t asked to change it to Allah.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
A public high school in Michigan has reversed its position following massive public pressure and a letter from a legal group dedicated to free speech and it will allow a Christian valedictorian to reference God in her graduation speech.
As LifeNews reported earlier today, Elizabeth Turner, a high school senior in Michigan, is supposed to be delivering the address to her school by virtue of the honor of being the senior class valedictorian. But administrators at Hillsdale High School told her she can’t include any references to God or her Christian faith.
“For me, my future hope is found in my relationship with Christ,” Hillsdale High School senior Elizabeth Turner wrote in her prepared remarks. “By trusting in him and choosing to live a life dedicated to bringing his kingdom glory, I can be confident that I am living a life with purpose and meaning. My identity is found by what God says and who I want to become is laid out in scripture.”
Amy Goldsmith, principal of the senior high school in the small Michigan city, told Turner that it is “not appropriate” for her to explicitly talk about her faith in Jesus Christ. Goldsmith, after reviewing the speech, told Turner to “be mindful about the inclusion of religious aspects.”
