I would like to see an non christian (in other words a minority) religion speech and see that "cheering" croud's reaction. Most would not do anything out of respect, much like The_Dude, but toss out "respect" and you have opression of freedom of speech.
My point is if a school is going to allow time for "God" speech, allow time for "Gods" speech and "Non God(s)" speech. Sigh. I personally don't really care anymore but I have this feeling that this polytheist or atheist student feels very intimidated just as much as a monotheist feels when the Pledge of Allegeince is ruled unconstitutional. My rant is that religion is a *personal* thing, and it should not become so commercialized and thrust into politics. What good does the phrase "in god we trust" do, for example. Those who trust in god did so even before it was printed on the paper.
