High School Valedictorian Refuses to Bow Down; Has Speech Censored

June 21, 2006

Brittany McComb was the valedictorian at Foothill High School recently.
She graduated with a 4.7 GPA. She earned the right to address the other
graduates at Foothill, located in Henderson, Nevada.

She gave a copy of her graduating speech to the school administrators.
It contained some Biblical references and even mentioned (one time) the
name "Christ."

The school administrators censored some of the Biblical references. They
also
censored the single reference to Christ.

Then the school officials handed the speech over to the ACLU for
approval and/or more censoring. After getting the OK from the ACLU,
Brittany's speech (minus the censored references to the Bible and
Christ) was approved. Brittany was warned that if she deviated from the
ACLU approved language, her mike would be cut off.

Then came the moment for the big decision. She would not bow down, she
decided. She would go with her original version. She stepped to the mike
and began her speech. But just before she could utter the name "Christ,"
her mike went dead. School officials silenced her.

The crowd of 400 jeered for several minutes, angry at the action of the
school officials. The ACLU was happy. They had silenced another
Christian.

"I went through four years of school at Foothill and they taught me
logic and they taught me freedom of speech. God's the biggest part of my
life. Just like other valedictorians thank their parents, I wanted to
thank my lord and savior," Brittany said.

Because she refused to bow down to the ACLU's idol of gold, she did not
get her wish. She was censored.

This young heroine deserves praise and a thank you from those who
believe in free speech
