May 19, 201511 yr This is pathetic. Those who have turned this into an issue should be ashamed of themselves.
May 20, 201511 yr I havent seen the facebook stuff, but can I gather correctly that this lady posted her opinion, and people disagreed with it? Thats pretty much all this is. Second question, why the need to have this type of event in the first place? The lady had an opinion. Problem was she was in the foyer after leaving during the Muslim Invocation. Missed all the other Christian groups and speakers. She also missed the speaker she criticized. An opinion formed that way isn't much of an opinion if you ask me. And her opinion incited other non- attendees into criticism with her misinformation.

But its still just an opinion. We all have them. She has a right to post/express it.
May 20, 201511 yr But its still just an opinion. We all have them. She has a right to post/express it. Correct. And we in turn have the right to consider her a bigot as a result of it.
May 20, 201511 yr But its still just an opinion. We all have them. She has a right to post/express it. You have a right to express it. You also have the consequences that come from not seeking to find out the truth rather than relying on hearsay and unsubstantiated conjecture.
May 20, 201511 yr Correct. And we in turn have the right to consider her a bigot as a result of it. Agreed. Honestly I have a bigger issue with why the need for the event in the first place.
May 20, 201511 yr Agreed. Honestly I have a bigger issue with why the need for the event in the first place. Tradition is the only answer I can come up with. But since it was heavily student driven, I give them kudos for being active in planning and executing the service.
May 20, 201511 yr But its still just an opinion. We all have them. She has a right to post/express it. The fact is that this woman did this to a 17 or 18 year-old student. That is a joke.
May 20, 201511 yr Agreed. Honestly I have a bigger issue with why the need for the event in the first place. Why the need for the graduation ceremony? What about senior night for football or baseball or basketball ect... Or pretty much any other program/ceremony?
May 20, 201511 yr But its still just an opinion. We all have them. She has a right to post/express it. She certainly does. The bigger problem could be a sizable number of Americans who can't tell the difference between a blog post and a news article.
May 20, 201511 yr Why the need for the graduation ceremony? What about senior night for football or baseball or basketball ect... Or pretty much any other program/ceremony? This wasnt graduation, this was another seperate event.
May 20, 201511 yr This wasnt graduation, this was another seperate event. I know, that's why I included "graduation ceremony" in my post. You have an issue with the need to have this event, my question to you is why the need for any of the ceremonies/celebrations/progams we have for what ever event? What's your issue with this one?

Ive never heard of this type event until this issue came up. Im not sure why its needed.
May 20, 201511 yr I read a transcript of the prayer said by the girl. What am I missing? What did the blogger get upset about? It seems her argument is that the ceremony should be limited to Christianity.
