Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21313794 The young man with the 4.0 grade point average pleaded his case – explaining that he only wanted to convey to the audience about how his personal relationship with Christ had impacted his life. “The principal told me it wasn’t appropriate for the setting,” Sam told me. School leaders then said they feared those in the audience might think Sam was speaking on behalf of the school district. “I offered to begin my speech with a disclaimer but they turned that down, too – twice,” he said. Denied him three times. |
