Was this girl proseltyzing during the speech? That wasn't implied in the article.
Actually they showed her edited speech on the Today show this AM.. and different of it parts were edited for different reasons. A paragraph was edited out specifically for proseltyzing.. the rest was mostly for mentioning god or religion. Once they saw her starting to go down that path, they did EXACTLY what they told her they would do.
They asked her if she submitted her speech prior, and if it had been edited, and if so, was she told what would happen..
She didn't answer the question, but went on to ramble about God, and how she thought about it, and decided she was going to talk about God. How she called HER lawyer and told him she was going to do it, while her proud parents sat there beaming in her glory..
Bottom line is.. Who cares.. it was a High School ceremony.. they did what they said they were going to do, end of story.. but now they have the press involved and making this 18 year old girl from nowhere a LOT more important then she really is, although not near as important as she thinks she is.
