I think it's obvious,that liberal educators are trying to revive paganism,while banning and denying,Constitutional rights..I can only hope that they are made to regret their bald-faced attempt at denying Constitutional rights..to Christian children.

There you go again.

Just when you were making a good point about the repression of free speech, you had to fuck it up by implying that because they allowed a scene about "boiling animals and witchcraft," they are "trying to revive paganism." That's just absolutely stupid and only those who play on fear, such as yourself and your heroes, O'Reilly and Limbaugh, would ever make that connection.

Honestly, by your rationale, they were correct to stop the girl from singing about God. If their giving permission to perform is a tacit endorsement of the song or scene's subject matter, then by law, they are not permitted to allow her to perform a God song. Because that would be them promoting God. Nor should they have allowed the "witch" scene for the same reason. And I should not have been able to act in "The Crucible" in high school.

They were wrong to stop her from singing. Just say that and you win.

And your little ACLU bash is way off the mark. If anything, the ACLU would support this girl because she wasn't treated fairly under the law. That's what the ACLU does, they protect liberties, contrary to most right-wingers' moronic notions.
