Valedictorian Sues School Over Jesus Speech

A high school valedictorian filed a lawsuit against a Colorado school district Monday over being forced to make a public apology for sharing her Christian faith at her graduation ceremony.

Erica Corder says she was pressured last year by the principal of Lewis-Palmer High School in Monument, Colo., to write an apology to the school community stating that her message, which mentioned Jesus Christ, was her own and not endorsed by the principal of the school.

According to Liberty Counsel, which filed the suit against Lewis Palmer School District Board of Education on Corder’s behalf, then-principal Mark Brewer insisted that Corder include the statement “I realize that, had I asked ahead of time, I would not have been allowed to say what I did.”
