wrong again LOL
courts, laws and facts disagreed with you :shrug:
Well that's not the case with the school. They have to be responsible for the behavior of thousands of students AND deal with the parents and families of those children too.
I actually have no issue with a school system's rules as long as they are not simply for the pc correctness for the sake of being so...
Whatever works in your parallel universe.:lamo:lamo:lamo
I just think it's a good idea to avoid the problems that these things cause. School is about getting an education, not learning how to become a rebel against authority. They have to have strict rules and guidelines or else the kids will walk all over them. Everyone knows that high school students are NO angels, valedictorians or not. The school also has to deal with a wide diversity of people who come from different backgrounds and cultures. It only makes sense to leave something as controversial as religion out of school and school activities IMO. And that doesn't mean that I'm dissing religion or free speech. It's all a matter of maintaining some semblance of order and protecting against potential liability issues.
nope facts links court and law
my opinions have nothing to do with it, if you disagree by all means PLEASE PLEASE provide and factual proof to the contrary
your own court cases supported me LMAO
Liability issues are a recent creation of the courts, and IMO are a detraction from the education that the children should otherwise receive. We could go round and round all evening, but it doesn't change the fact that our schools' primary purpose is education, not political correctness.
I'm out, have a good evening...
I have already posted a definitive statement of the law in this matter. That shows, in fact, that you are wrong. The matter is closed, your zombie posts notwithstanding.:mrgreen:
no it did not LMAO why are you lying? not only did it not show i warong it supported my statment and so did some of the case your mentioned that i later quoted :laughat:
the proof isnt going anywhere
like i said if you disagree by all means PLEASE PLEASE provide and factual proof to the contrary but my guess is youll dodge it again lol

Already done. You lost.
Are you the 22nd century's "It" girl ?...............................
exactly what i thought, you dodge it AGAIN
sorry facts disagree with you and proof you wrong
like i said if you disagree by all means PLEASE PLEASE provide and factual proof to the contrary
And you are confusing rights with privileges. Of course he has a right to speak his mind just about anywhere else. But he was not in a classroom, on the street, etc. He was given the privileged position of giving a speech to his graduating class. No one else had that opportunity which makes it a privilege.
The proof has already been established. There is no need to restate it. You lost.QED
Separation from church and state, the valedictorian is in the wrong. Simple as that.
Not from the state there aren't.
Of course not. You're free to send your child to CCD, Sunday School or even to a private religious school of your choosing. Funny thing is, they have rules too.
I actually don't think that's true. The valedictorian doesn't work for the school and isn't part of the state. Therefore, is free to pray anytime he or she wants. The school simply can lead one or have a policy of prayer. And I think that is proper for them to not to have.
1st Ammendment rights are often overlooked for Christians. Try to put it the other way around and the liberals throw the book at you.
