From the Gateway Pundit…

A high school valedictorian from South Carolina ripped up his approved speech on stage this past weekend, and minutes later, delivered the Lord’s Prayer in defiance of the school district’s decision to no longer include prayer at graduation ceremonies.

What if conservatives just started ignoring the left, on matters such as this? What can the left do? Well, besides auditing the kid for the rest of his life. And refusing him a life saving operation when he asks the government for approval. And monitoring his emails. But besides all that, they can’t do much. Heck, if a kid wants to say a prayer  at his or her graduation ceremony, just do it. The worst they can do is pull the plug, and even then the kid can raise his or her voice. The audience will listen and whoever pulled the plug will look stupid.

Okay, the ACLU and other groups will shriek about the the separation of church and state, which isn’t in the Constitution, by the way. Bottom line, the kid didn’t establish a religion or force anything on anybody. Atheists in the audience were under no obligation to suddenly start attending church. Of course, they can say they’re “offended,” but people aren’t under any obligation to avoid offending the left, no matter what the left claims. It’s amazing how much speech is suppressed because the left claims to be offended by stuff. Damn near anything they don’t like “offends” them.

We need more of this. A lot more. It’s not like the kid was occupying a public park and turning it into a trash heap and breaking windows on nearby banks. Not that anybody would do that, of course. It’s strictly hypothetical. He just defied the left and said what was in his heart. Good for him. I hope he’s never seriously ill, because the left has a long memory and they like to set up panels.
