Valedictorian's Speech Censored by School Officials

Just when you think things are okay in America and that religious expression is a constitutional right, something goes haywire! That something is the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada. Brittany McComb, a senior and a valedictorian, was giving her speech to the audience when her mike was cut off by school officials. You know what the obscene word she used was? Jesus! She made reference to the Lord in her speech and how she wouldn’t have made it without His strength and guidance. And the school officials who had already warned her about using spiritual references in her speech cut her off!
As a pastor, I was so outraged that I called the school district personally. According to the American Family Association's website, school district officials made Brittany submit her speech beforehand and then gave the speech to an A.C.L.U. lawyer to look over. First of all, I am sick and tired of spineless school officials who cave into the threats of the A.C.L.U. When are people going to get it that the A.C.L.U. stands for Anti-Christian Lawyers Union? They are not interested in free speech, they have an agenda to make this a secular nation that is devoid of religious expression. Secondly, it is time that Christians get outraged enough and do something about the perversion of our Constitution by the A.C.L.U. and other groups. By the time some of us wake up it may be too late to reclaim our religious liberty rights! Are you ticked off yet?
