Yes, and then they admitted they were wrong and let you continue to babble nonsense during lunch and disrupt other students.



Are you thick or supm'? Who said anything about disruptions, or lunch?

The fact of the matter is they tried to deny my 1st amendment right. Pretty profound task for a 12 year old to take on I thought.

You seem to see me as some sort of villan here. I see myself as a protector of the constitution against an institution that should know better. The same institution that "teaches" your kids & mine. I don't understand why you're even attempting to defend their behavior here...


I must be thick or supm', but i'd like to hear the whole story about your experience, not just yours.
I'm sure your parents had nothing to do with your act of civil disobedience.

The reason why this tweaked my interest is that people like you are always claiming that children can't pray in schools. Which is complete baloney. They can pray all they want at lunch, silently to themselves in class(do you really need to pray out loud for God to hear you?), before class, in the hall.
Jesus even said to not pray in public like the hypocrites, but in private. Is jesus wrong on this?
