When did I infer that badgering you would be acceptable? In fact, I have been stating that it would not...
All this "liability" bs given as an excuse to restrict speech is just that, bs. Good evening 2m...
No. There was a case in a neighboring town where the child lied to the parents, said he was going somewhere else, and he went to the school with a buddy, and they vandalized it. Apparently there was 100,000 dollars worth of damage. A 15 year old and a 16 year old. The parents were held financially responsible. I can get a link to that story if you'd like.
When a function is paid with "tax dollars" equal voices must preside. It is not an avenue to pontificate one''s own ideals exclusively.
Good evening, AP. :2wave:
:agree:
I've been on a business trip, but I can't help but wonder at the amount of hostility this thread has unearthed by a valedictorian reciting the Lord's Prayer at a commencement! I could understand, maybe, if bad language or hate for some group were the subject of the speech, but who could be offended by a prayer in any language? Whatever happened to tolerance for others in this Country? :shock:
this shows that you don't have unlimited free speech, on property not your own.
the idea is, a person or persons should not use gatherings of people, where those people have to do business, or there for a particular reason, to put forth an agenda or a message.
Where is that written exactly? I really can't find that anywhere.
Links are always appreciated but in this instance, I'm not sure what responsibility a parent has...

On functions supported by tax moneys citizens get an equal voice.
I happen to think we are all equal under the law.
Well, the point is that minors do not have the same rights as adults and that a minor's parents are responsible for his or her actions still. For you to portray high seniors as "adults" is just rather silly. They really are not adults. They are not self-sufficient.

How in the hell did we ever have a revolution establishing this country?
Well harking back to the Boston Tea Party it was over tax breaks the British gave to tea importers that pissed off tea smugglers.
He is there to speak and you are there to listen. Do you make this point at every speech in a public building or just this one?
Pay the rent for that night and say whatever you want to. In this case the public paid the rent.
The valedictorian was an invited speaker...
But if no one were allowed to speak about it, then what?
Or maybe you view people who disagree with your viewpoints as "hostile?"

Or maybe she's just not afraid of free speech and the marketplace of ideas. You were pretty quick to use the word "dishonesty" with me. This valedictorian is a brave and courageous young man who did a fine thing. Ours would be a better country if he were widely emulated.eace
Any venue would be allowed to view and preapprove a guest speakers speech if they requested to do so.
