Montana School Violated Student When Barred Her from Stating Religious References in her Graduation Speech

A Montana school district has been ordered to pay $70,000 in attorneys fees for banning a valedictorian from speaking at her graduation.

Former Butte High student Renee Griffith was told by the Butte School District in 2008 that she could not speak at her graduation because her speech contained religious references.
The speech included the sentence, “I don’t let fear keep me from sharing Christ and his joy with those around me.”
Griffith was told she had to remove the references to God and Christ because religious references were not allowed in graduation speeches.
Shame on them for denouncing the name of God.

Morris Brown College Files for Bankruptcy: Chapter 11

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the move is a last ditch effort to prevent the school from being foreclosed on and sold at auction.

The 131-year-old historically black college is facing foreclosure next month after investors called $13 million worth of bonds tied to the school.
The bonds were issued in 1996 by the Fulton County Development Authority. The school had pledged several pieces of property as security. An auction of assets was set for Sept. 4.
Chapter 11 gives federal protection to businesses unable to pay their debts and allows reorganization. A lawyer for Morris Brown says the emergency filing delays the foreclosure until a judge decides otherwise.
