no...they support "free speech" until someone wears a shirt about god to school and then jump all over them, and complain about the 10 commandments being posted in a court. Even if they dont believe in god/the bible, the majority of the 10 commandments are represented in our laws!

actual, you could not do both. both one receives you (the scholar) right into a similar volume of worry for the same reason. this is disruptive of sophistication. And even as you've the right to loose speech, that precise could be constrained to acceptable places/situations, see you later as you could say what you want elsewhere. this is the element about loose speech and freedom of religion. the authorities can not make differences in accordance to what you're saying, no matter if its prayer, insults, or poetry. the regulations could be impartial. each little thing is dealt with a similar, even with content. Which also means faith would not get any particular clinical care. Now, when you're taking about prayer in college prepared through the college, it really is a diverse situation. this is state-sponsorship of religion, it really is illegitimate through the structure. the authorities "shall make no regulations respecting the institution of religion". So, the following faith is dealt with in a distinct way, no matter if this is the STATE attempting to get human beings to wish. because, not like the guy, the state is extra constrained in what it may say and do. you should maintain that huge distinction sparkling, between inner most speech (or prayer), and authorities-subsidized prayer. Very diverse instruments of regulations.

No it against school policy to cuss out a teacher in most public schools. This issue of prayer in public schools has been an issue for years. Religion does not belong in public schools it can be taken to extreme by right wing bigots who want only to have people believe their way or no way.
I support the ACLU in their efforts to protect our rights. They at time support unpopular causes but rather have someone protecting my rights then taking them away.

Yes I support them even if I don't always agree 100% with their stance because I believe in checks and balances. Plus I don't always understand the complications of the legal system. The ACLU helps to keep things balanced, otherwise powerful people start telling everybody what to do. Remember Nixon?

Does praying to God out loud in a classroom make you feel more faithful than doing so in private? If we give someone the same right to pray to Allah out loud in a classroom, would it bother you? No one is denying your right to believe or worship as you wish. A public school is for non-denominational education, however. What's wrong with practicing your faith with your family at home, or with your friends at church? Or how about doing good in the community as a representation of your good will? Volunteer at a food bank or shelter. (By the way, I am Christian and do volunteer regularly.)

...and you can't cuss out your teacher in school. Most schools have behavior policies. I would have your butt kicked out of my class, (and possibly arrested) so fast your head would spin.
Yes I support the ACLU, they try to keep the rules fair. It's sad that we need a watchdog to help out in our democracy.

You cannot "cuss out your teacher" and you CAN pray out loud.
Get your facts straight. You obviously are anti-ACLU and the quesiton you need to ask YOURSELF is why.
Does my freedom intimidate you somehow?
Just shut up.

You can not cuss your teacher out. School rules and District policy require that you respect school authorities. Not only is it a school rule but you could be arrested for disturbing the peace and go to jail.

Yes I do. I thank them for looking after my constitutional right to free expression. I don't agree with everyone they represent (KKK, neo-nazis, etc.), but I feel the right to express myself is more important than silencing those with whom I disagree.
And you're twisting your argument: there's nothing wrong with praying to God in the classroom - if you do it by yourself, no one will stop you. It's school-organized (i.e. school-ordained) prayer in the classroom that's forbidden, because it violates the separation of church and state.
P.S. It's spelled "speech". God bless.
