Disagree, it all is part of having respect for other people's views.
If you want to preach or pray amongst people who share your views, go
ahead, but public schools are for everyone, just like government is
for everybody. If you want to do those things to others, they have
the right to shut you up, politely. E.g., you're not supposed to
yell fire in a movie theatre, especially if there is no fire. Now if
there ever was prior restraint, that is it.


The so-called "respect for other people's views" is nothing but crude
justification for silencing those whose views YOU do not like
It's disingenuous to the point of downright dishonest.
PC )Political Correctness) is nothing but a variant of prior
restraint. Free Speech must include 2 things to be free
1) The only restraint is the one the speaker chooses voluntarily
to avoid being offensive
2) The Speaker can NOT be muzzled to avoid offending others.
PC fails on both counts


PC? what does that have to do with anything?


Not surprised you're clueless about that
At least you're consistent



snip irrelevant anecdote

As to your number 2 - since listening to a valedictorian speech isn't
entirely voluntary, I can envision some review. But, as before, I don't
know whether it is practiced.

Funny how not knowing doesn't stop you from pontificating
