If it's a graduation ceremony, sponsoring someone to preach Christian dogma to me, if I am in attendance, especially as a captive audience member, it's not just someone stating their personal view. They are using MY governemtn to press their religion onto me.

If a muslim student were to give a speech at a school where they proclaimed the Shahada, and preeched a few verses from the Qur'an, they'd either be shot or arrested. The overwhelming hypocrisy on the part of the Christian right on this issue makes a joke out of any attempt to call it a free speech issue. There's a TIME and a PLACE for that kind of thing, and giving a speech to a mixed religious audience at a secular government function is NOT THAT TIME OR PLACE.

When Christians stop imprisoning muslim professors for their political beliefs by hatemongering juries into believing that anyone who believes a certain way is a terrorist my association, or when they stop accusing anyone who speaks out against the government of treason, maybe then you'll be taken seriously on matters of Freedom of Expression. As it is, forcing your religious beliefs into OUR government is a violation of OUR Freedom of Expression, because you're removing OUR government's religious neutrality from our lives and replacing it with one that caters to your agenda, and yes we damn well have a right to put a stop to it. Don't like it? Send your kids to a private school. PUBLIC schools are no place for PRIVATE agendas.
