Many things I say are considered unacceptable by others, but I'm really not too concerned about it. I don't necessarily agree with your views, but I would not attempt to stifle anything you might want to express...
So, what was the point of the speech ?............................
Who cares? He said what he wanted to say. Good evening bonz...
Good evening. Well fine. But let's not foster the idea among Christians that saying Jesus loves them is any way, shape, or form "revolutionary"......................
How are 1st Amendment Rights overlooked for Christians compared to other religions? Surely you must have loads of examples.
Religion wasn't being attacked. Religion - your religion, my religion, their religion - has no place in a public school graduation address. Would you be as upset if most public school events were accompanied by Sikh prayer or a Hindu prayer or a Muslim prayer rather than a Christian prayer?
Evolution isn't a religion. Nor is atheism. More to point, I don't know of any high school graduation address where the speaker deviated from his/her prepared speech to recite an evolution or atheist prayer.
A religious message does not have "to inspire war" to be seen as harmful and disruptive in a society.
"Free speech" isn't some pass to say whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want. You can't stand on a street corner shouting to the world using profane language, for example. Fire! in a theater is generally outlawed. Any owner of private property can limit your speech on their property, though the only reasonable "punishment" there is being expelled from the property. So, yes, free speech has always been "frowned upon" depending on where it is located.What error was made? Is free speech now frowned upon depending on where it is located?

I just finished reading to this post and it really doesn't change my comment any.After you have read the full exchange and get it into some context, get back to me. Until then, just ignore my posts...

You apparently don't understand the difference between "appropriate" and "without consequence".
One could often say the same about you, yet I've never known that to stop you from posting.Then just ignore my posts as you obviously lack comprehension skills...
....was not recited at this event, is outside the scope of this event, and is therefore completely irrelevant.The Christian message, which goes far beyond the Lord's Prayer.....
Anyone who says he did is wrong. He just made a serious error in good judgement.
What error did he make?
Not following the proper protocol and submitting his NEW speech for approval.
That's something to be proud of.
Yes, you've already made it clear that you think he's some kind of Christian super hero. Breaking rules and bending the law! :lamo
It's true that he didn't follow protocol, but that wasn't an error.Not following the proper protocol and submitting his NEW speech for approval.

His civil disobedience was deliberate, I agree.You're right. He willfully disobeyed the rule.
