You can't teach SCI in public schools as an elective because the school is paying for the class. You can't lead a prayer in a public school commencement speech for the same reason. I suspect that had the young women simply said "I want to thank my parents, and of course, Jesus," there would have been no problem since the case wouldn't have made ito court BEFORE SHE GAVE TEH SPEECH. Almost certainly, she made a big deal of ithings beforehand in order to get the case in court. How else would it have gotten there? Who had access to her speech?
