I made more than one statement about which you could have called me wrong, and none of them stand out to me. Nowhere in my comment do I touch on Constitutional law, either, so your statement leaves me quite perplexed. Perhaps you are just reading in what you want to read? Can you be more specific?

She wanted to thank her god for her success. Her God is Jesus of Nazareth. I would bet they wouldn't cut off a Muslim student thanking Allah, or a Native American student thanking a spirit guide. They definitely would not stop a student who believed their success was due to their parents, their teachers, and/or their hard work from acknowledging and praising these sources.

The girl ahs the right to say anything she wants, just not at the behest of the school’s microphones." Solemn occasion? Says who? The school's microphones? Who or what is the school? Lauren says “It’s a solemn occasion and is not intended to elevate this girl’s soapbox. The girl ahs the right to say anything she wants, just not at the behest of the school’s microphones.”

Solemn occasion? Says who?

The school’s microphones? Who or what is the school?

I always tell those who want God out of the public schools this.. As long as teachers continue to give tests in the public schools; THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PRAYER IN SCHOOL!

I think they primarily deal with the College level. They still might be a good source for options available to her. I don't know if anybody knows the young lady who was the victim. Here, I mean. Obviously someone knows her. Http://www.thefire.org.

She should contact them. There is nothing that says that students cannot speak of religion. The problem is that in Public Schools employees are essentially Government workers, government can't impose or interfere with the students right to speak. She was obviously not a staff member, making it so that she could have reasonably given a sermon. There is a group called Fire that works with violations of students rights to free speech.
