Furthermore, the wording of the Constitution states for the general welfare, it would be impossibe for someone to convince me that the general welfare was not served at Gate City High School last Friday. A young man had just lost his life, two communites with strong roots in Christianity prayed, each side showed their respects and the game was played. If there someone in the stadium that didn't chose to worship God, Jesus, or anything for that matter they were not forced to do so. This is just staggering to me that our country has gotten to this, the groups who try to protect freedom of speech will try to prohibit it. For all the degrees, studies, and scholary awards some of the members of the ACLU have received I really have to question just how smart this group is. More so than ever, this country needs areas like these for more reasons than one.
I agree completely. The way I see it the young lady was using her freedom of speech. I feel the person slapped not only that young girl in the face but Sullivan South and their loss also. It was very inconsiderate of this person and group to bring this up on that night. Not only was South morning their loss but the country was remebering their loss(9-11-01) as well. That was just heartless and gutless to bring it up about that night.
