Comments on: Valedictorian Files Suit Against School Over Religious Freedom http://parrotheadjeff.com/blog/archives/265/valedictorian-files-suit-against-school-over-religious-freedom/ Come on in and hang out a while Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:02:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sifrona Cotton http://parrotheadjeff.com/blog/archives/265/valedictorian-files-suit-against-school-over-religious-freedom/comment-page-1/#comment-124 Sifrona Cotton Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:36:25 +0000 http://parrotheadjeff.com/blog/archives/265/valedictorian-files-suit-against-school-over-religious-freedom/#comment-124 This stuff drives me nuts. I just want to shake my head at all the stories related to this one. This country was founded as a place to get away from religious prosecution...and here we are doing just the thing we came here to get away from. I say if someone wants to praise God, Allah, Buddah, or whoever they believe in, it shouldn't matter. Instead of jumping all over Christians, we should allow people of all faiths to express their gratitude at graduation. After all, the US Military and the Boy Scouts try to allow for such varied religions. ( http://www.usscouts.org/usscouts/advance/cubscout/religious.asp ) Besides, threatening to keep a hard working student from her degree because she expressed her 1st Amendment rights is certainly unconstitutional, don't you think?
