Your ignorence tells you that. The Lord's Prayer is a message of peace. Thats just a fact.Something tells me you need to read the rest of the Bible.
What is expected of a valedictorian other than addressing his/her classmates? Most speakers "hired" for an event are well vetted and paid in advance as a part of the contract...
Can't believe this has to be explained again, but the bottom line is the boy didn't get into any trouble. Also, the problem was not so much the CONTENT of speech but the fact that he broke the rules and he did not allow school officials to pre approve the speech, so he was insubordinate.
Had our Founders not been insubordinate, we might not be having this discussion...
Again, trying to equate a high school boy's insubordination towards school officials to the Revolutionary war. :roll:
You can roll our eyes all day long, but it doesn't change the substance of the post...
I must have missed that substance. :roll:
You prove my point.Says the guy who is incapable of spelling "ignorance"? :roll:
Or it possibly flew right by you. Let me ask you this: Do you think speakers should always tailor their speeches to what is expected/desired by the audience or those who gave them the opportunity to speak?

I think that depends on the circumstances entirely.
Under what circumstances do you believe someone's speech should be limited only to what is desired to be given/heard?

and the answer I have given to way too many - IT DEPENDS! There is seldom an absolute "This way" or "That way" answer when dealing with human interactions but such absolutist thinking does seem to be highly characteristic of certain folks

To paraphrase our recently retired SOS, Hilary Clinton, dissent is one of the highest forms of patriotism...
You of all people should know that the only people who go after typos are those who can't argue the topic.Your point was that you can't spell?
I'm still confused as to where this kid established a state religion.
Do you truly want that in a public school setting? You want students to disobey rules in school?

You went after a typo, which means you can't counter my point that the Lord's Prayer is a message of peace.
What matters is not if a message is religious, but if the message is constructive or harmfull. If the religious message were one to inspire war, that would not be appropriate.
Absolutely!:mrgreen:
