OPINION: This graduation censorship season, here is how you can stand up for your faith at school
The examples are plentiful. Eighth-grader Hannah Allen was told that she and her classmates couldn’t pray for a fellow student while in the lunchroom. Sam Blackledge was forced to remove any mention of his faith from a speech just hours before he was to give it. A group of high-school cheerleaders were prevented from using Bible verses on encouraging gameday banners.
Now, a Utah school district is reviewing whether to remove the Holy Bible from its libraries. Prompted by a parent’s complaint, the Davis School District outside Salt Lake City may remove the Bible for being one of the"most sex-ridden books around" and lacking serious value for minors. Cancel culture in public education now runs so deep that the holiest book in Christianity, originally written over thousands of years across multiple continents and in three different languages, which is now both the bestselling book of all time and the most shoplifted is being reviewed by a public school to determine whether it has value.
So as graduation season approaches, remember that the law is clear: teachers and students do not shed their constitutional rights at the school house gate. Private religious expression is to be welcomed, not censored by school districts. First Liberty Institute encourages students to be bold mouthpieces for their faith – Americans across the country will be more free when they do.
Holly M. Randall serves as Associate Counsel for First Liberty Institute, a non-profit law firm exclusively dedicated to defending religious liberty for all Americans.
