The first amendment is dead. It is now being interpreted to mean exactly the opposite of what it says.
This cannot be the same Montana reported here:

Kind of thows that story down the drain.
The speech should have started, “In compliance with the censors wishes and the complete restriction of our formerly guaranteed right of free speech ...”

THE SNEEZE
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing .. and the traditional caps, they looked almost .. as grown up as they felt.
Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears..
This class would NOT pray during the commencements——not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.
The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.
The speeches were nice, but they were routine.....until the final speech received a standing ovation.
A solitary student wal ked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened.
H
All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!!
The student on stage.. simply looked at the audience and said,
‘GOD BLESS YOU, each and every one of you!’ And he walked off stage...
The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God’s blessing on their future with or without the court’s approval.
Isn’t this a wonderful story?
