No Freedom Of Speech Allowed In California

Palm Desert High School was having a brick paver fundraiser.  The California high school has ended the fundraising campaign after two women submitted Bible verses for their tributes.

Lou Ann Hart and Sheryl Caronna contributed several hundred dollars to purchase the memorial brick pavers. They chose to have their bricks engraved with Bible verses to go alongside dozens of other inspirational and commemorative bricks.

When administrators noticed the women had submitted religious content, they decided to end the fundraising campaign and refund everyone’s money.  The school accepted hundreds of other paver messages, including those quoting Mahatma Gandhi and other inspirational figures.

David Cortman of the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian organization of attorneys who filed a lawsuit against the school district on the women’s behalf. He said, “Christians should be allowed to express themselves on public school campuses just like everyone else.”

“It is cowardly to shut down everyone’s participation in this program simply out of animosity toward Christian speech. There is absolutely nothing unconstitutional about a Bible verse on a brick when a school opens up a program for anyone to express a personal message. The school could simply have allowed the Bible verses, but instead it chose to punish everyone.”

Cortman went on to say the district-approved fundraising campaign had not put any limitations on the content of the pavers other than length.

Do people in California not have First Amendments rights of free speech?  Why are schools and the Democrats so afraid of Christians?  They know as long as there are Christians their socialist agenda for America will fail.
