Reply #115: She got her mike cut off, not a jail sentence. [View All]

She was required, by school policy, to submit her speech in advance so that the school could make sure it was appropriate for a public school graduation. She submitted a speech, but, when the time came, she gave a speech different from the one she submitted. Regardless of what she said or didn't say, the school had a right to cut off her mike for her rebellion and fraud alone.

The reason her remarks were inappropriate for a public school graduation is established by court cases on what may and may not go on in a public school, consistent with both freedom of religion and separation of church and state.

Her rebellion, if allowed by the school, would have put the school in violation of the Constitution. That's why it would have been illegal.
