Interesting Solution

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-three students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would not pray during the commencements
not by choice but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling.

They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine.......until the final speech received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then he delivered his speech. An astounding -- SNEEZE!

The rest of the students rose immediately to their feet, and in unison they said, "GOD BLESS YOU." The audience exploded into applause. The graduating class found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval.

Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends......... [;)]

    Thanks for the post. Read "The Langauge Police" by Diane Ravitch. The educational system has many many forbidden topics.

    Hairy, ol' friend, this is the side of you that is so misunderstood. You may not believe, but you support others right to do so. Isn't that what this country is really about?[;)]

    I can't believe you just posted that[:)] I thought you were a "flaming liberal"[;)] There must be a whole 'nother side to you...unless you posted it sarcastically[}:)] I do have an honest question for you though: How can you be a gun lover and a liberal at the same time???[?]

    ECC: quote:How can you be a gun lover and a liberal at the same time??? I've never claimed to be a liberal but then I've never claimed to be a conservative either. I think of myself more of a centrist. As far as enjoying guns, I didn't know the political spectrum applied; for all I know, even Republicans may enjoy guns.[;)]
