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" song 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.

the aclu is a joke in this country.
