No, actually I don't know what happened with that thread.

Well I disagree with a lot of things, guess what I do? I deal with it. I have grown a thick skin over the years, if I got into a fight and tried to fight against everything that offends me I wouldn't ever get anywhere in life, and my life would be miserable.

Anyway the professor himself says she can say something similar, and she will, because if they specifically barred her from not being able to say it they would have a huge law suit on their hands.

Your religion or beliefs aren't the only ones. I guess people don't believe what you believe and you didn't like it so why are you continuing the viscous cycle?

I have no idea what a starseed is but I would venture to say you probably consider your self smarter than a whole lot of other people and if that is the case, why are you bringing yourself down to their level?

Well then by that logic then we must all live poor, because we all can't be rich. Deal with it. She worked her butt off to graduate high in her class and she has earned the right to speak. If people don't like what she has to say then they can get up and leave.

If an atheist wanted to give a speech or some other religion then they should have worked harder. Screw all this accommodating everybody crap, what happened to personal responsibility, I guess if she got all A's she should give a points of her GPA to all the students that didn't get as high as grades as her so they can feel "accommodated".

The girl earned the right to say whatever she wished...The "Professor" who edited her speech should mind her own business, just because she didn't like it she has no right to edit it out...the girl has a right to free speech...

Why don't her fellow graduates have respect for her? Or more accurately the professor?

Respect is a two way street. If they don't like what she has to say then they can leave.

And you wonder why California is dead broke.

Yes Respect is a Two way street.

You see this as not respecting her faith belief

I see it as respecting everyone's faith belief.

We will just have to call a draw.

Come on - - what does CA being broke have to do with this? That is a cheap shot - that has no bearing on this.
