A valedictorian’s speech in a Michigan high school is being canceled over concern that it is “very Christianized,” according to a letter (pdf) from First Liberty Institute.
First Liberty, a nonprofit law firm dedicated to defending religious liberty, is representing graduating senior student at John Glenn High School, Savannah Lefler. She submitted her speech on May 19 to the speech coordinator for the school’s “Honors Night.” It is critical of certain philosophies and maintained that “[t]he purpose of life is to live a life devoted to Christ.”
