Valedictorian speech cut off at the name of Christ...
"All who continue in the battle ahead must accept martyrdom. it does not, My child, necessarily mean death of your body, but it will mean persecution. Stand fast in the faith. Keep the faith in the hearts of those you love. Extend your charity of heart to all of your brother and sisters throughout the world. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1974
LifeSiteNews reported on June 22, 2006:
The name of Christ is so offensive to modern secular ears that Clark County School District officials, who knew it was coming, cut off the microphone during a valedictorian address before they or anyone else could hear it.
Brittany McComb is a Christian and a top student graduating from Foothill High. She knew that her valedictorian address would probably be cut short, but was determined to go ahead and mention the one name that is for her above every other name.
"I went through four years of school at Foothill and they taught me logic and they taught me freedom of speech," McComb stated. "God's the biggest part of my life. Just like other valedictorians thank their parents, I wanted to thank my lord and saviour."
The 400 plus graduates and guests gathered at a Las Vegas casino for the ceremony booed and jeered after McComb’s speech was cut short.
McComb was required to vet her speech before the graduation ceremony with Foothill administrators. This, says the school, is standard practice before speeches are read. The school officials then removed all Biblical references and the single mention of the name of Jesus Christ.
McComb, who graduated with a 4.7 grade point average, was warned that if she deviated from the approved text, she could be cut off; but she saw it as a matter of freedom of speech.
“People aren't stupid and they know we have freedom of speech and the district wasn't advocating my ideas,” McComb said. “Those are my opinions.”
“It's what I believe.”
The school district’s legal counsel, Bill Hoffman, said that McComb's words counted as preaching. He told media, “We review the speeches and tell them they may not proselytize.”
McComb said she was not surprised by the censorship. “Even in the Bible it says that the name of Jesus will be hated.”
“But the thing is, it is freedom of speech, so I was upset,” McComb said on the “Jay Sekulow Live!” radio program on June 20. “I was really leery about having to defy authority.... It took me a while, but I answer to a higher authority and it's my freedom of speech, and I had to come to terms with that.”
The American Civil Liberties Union, becoming notorious for its secularist zealotry in cases of public expression of religious belief, praised the school’s decision saying, “It's important for people to understand that a student was given a school-sponsored forum by a school, and therefore, in essence, it was a school-sponsored speech.”
Not so, says a Constitutional lawyer and freedom of speech activist. Mat Staver, founder and chairman of the Florida-based pro-family legal organization Liberty Counsel, said McComb should take the school district to court.
“I think this is one of the most outrageous examples of censorship at graduation that I've seen,” Staver said to Agape Press. “For school officials to literally be standing by the switch at the mixing board and cut the microphone on a student, simply because that student mentions God or Jesus, is just unbelievable.”
A writer in the Conservative Voice, Ben Shapiro, responded, “Let's assume the school district, by allowing McComb's speech, would have been promoting her message. Here's the question: So what?”
“There is no right to be free from public expression of religion,” Ben Shapiro wrote, “but there is a Constitutionally protected right to free exercise of religion … it is none of the school district's business whether she chooses to invoke God, Jesus or Zeus (though history indicates that the ACLU would fight for her right to invoke Zeus).”
The Constitution of the US, says Shapiro, prohibits the establishment of a state religion such as the Anglican Church in Britain, but was never intended to suppress the right to freedom of religious expression.

The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
PREPARE FOR GREAT PERSECUTION
"My child and My
children, My heart is very sad that I must bring you this urgent but final
Message from Heaven. The Eternal Father has sent Me as a Mediatrix from God to
man all about your world, the earth, crying out warnings from Heaven to mankind,
warnings that only a few have heeded. And now the hour is approaching, the hour
of darkness and sadness. Many parents shall have tears of anguish brought into
their homes by the coming events.
"My children, please, as your Mother
I ask you in all charity to go forward and warn your brothers and sisters to
prepare for great persecution. There will be many catastrophes now befalling
your earth until the great Warning, and then the final Chastisement. O My
children, will you not listen to Me!” – Our Lady, November 20, 1978
TO
REMOVE CHRISTIANITY
"My dear parents, please! Listen to your Mother. Listen to what I have to
say to you, for I tell you the truth. The Eternal Father sees all, and makes us
knowledgeable as to what is happening upon earth that will bring its eventual
destruction. Your children are being educated in the schools to take all
Christianity from their lives, and believe not in the supernatural things of
God, but the diabolical processes of satan, in cults.” -
Our Lady, June 18,
1987
PRAYER OUTLAWED
"My child and My children, prayer has not become a way of life for many. That is
why communism has got such a foothold in your country and in other countries of
the world. The prayers given to you in your childhood will be remembered always,
I know, My children; but there are those who have not received these prayers in
their schools, for prayer has been outlawed in many areas of your country and
the world. It took but a few without faith to bring down the flag, for even your
country's flag is being defiled, My children.” -
Our Lady, October 2, 1987
OUR LADY KNEW PERSECUTION
"I was honored by the Father in your years of twelve. My young years, My child,
were spent in seclusion. I, too, was not without persecution when I carried on
the apostleship of My Son.
"You must never slacken or give in to your human weakness, for you will be
given the strength to finish your mission.
"It is sad to look into the future, My child, and know that already the
enemies of your God are planning to dispose of a godly leader. The righteous man
shall be met with much scorn and persecution. It is the sign of your times.” –
Our Lady, August 14,
1974
JACINTA’S MESSAGE
"Yes, I tried to warn everyone of what was going to happen to the world of the
future. Our Lady said that the little Father in Rome would suffer great
persecution, but much of this persecution would come from his very own, those
that he trusted. That is why the picture was given to you, to send the message
throughout the world.
"It is true that I gave a final message, but I, too, could not give the
date--only to warn the world that a great Warning would come to mankind. It
would be a great cataclysm Warning, and then there would be a great Miracle, and
after that, if nothing changes and man continues to offend the Father, He would
have to start this terrible, terrible trial. For there will be a great War and
there will be a great, terrible Chastisement." –
St. Jacinta, June 8, 1974
PERSECUTION WILL REIGN IN THE
CHURCH
“Michael is the guardian of My Son's House. Michael will be entered into My
Son's House, or your country will fall. The doors will shut. Persecution will
reign in the House of My Son, and all that is rotten will fall.
"Pray much, My child. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, Rosaries of
prayer throughout the world--link to link, bead to bead, soul to soul across
your nation and the world. You are living now in the days of trial, and you will
all be tested and receive your just reward from the Father."
– Our Lady, May 22, 1974
THE PERSECUTION WILL BE GREAT
"The persecution to all those who follow and defend My Son in truth, in the
light, the persecution will be great. The masters of deceit, they are gathering
like vultures to send into motion a conspiracy of evil that has been brought
about because mankind has given himself to all manner of evil.
"The time given by your prophets of old, the time of times is here. You
will all, My children, wear your sacramentals in the battle, the days ahead.
What was to happen in the future shall be now. Your world will be baptized by
fire. Many will die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption.” –
Our Lady, May 26, 1976
MANY SHALL REJECT OUR LADY’S
MESSAGE
"We know the trial ahead for all who seek to bring the truth to mankind for My
Mother. Many shall reject Her message, and many of Our children of the light
will receive great persecution as they seek to bring the Message from Heaven to
their brothers and sisters.
"There will be many thorns among the roses, but at the end of your road, My
children, there is a special crown waiting for you." –
Jesus, June 5, 1975
MANY GREAT SAINTS SHALL RISE
"Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of
destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere
prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of
destruction.
"Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout
your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the
world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!
"Amen, amen, I say to you: unless mankind returns God the Eternal Father to
his life, he will not have the years of two hands to count upon!
"The present generation, My child, shall pass through this crucible of
suffering. Many great saints shall rise from this persecution.” –
Jesus, June 5, 1975
THE CANDLES UPON EARTH
"As it was in the time of Noe, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrha, so
shall it be upon your earth. Man shall be permitted to fall fast into the abyss.
Why? Because he has hardened his heart and closed his ears to the truth. He has
given himself to all manners of pleasures of the flesh. Sin has become a way of
life in your country and in the countries throughout your earth.
"The children of God, the candles upon earth, My child, shall suffer much
persecution from the agents of darkness.” –
Jesus, December 31, 1975
“YOU CANNOT BESTOW GRACES UPON
A CLOSED HEART”
“You must expect, My child, to receive great persecution. Graces are given in
abundance, but they are for the asking. You cannot bestow graces upon a closed
heart.” – Our Lady,
February 1, 1975
FORCES OF EVIL WILL NOT
SLACKEN
"The forces of evil will not slacken in their fight against you, My child. You
must expect much persecution, for the agents of darkness are set with hardened
hearts. And the light--My child, it is difficult to pierce with the light the
hearts that are hardened.
"Your major weapon will be prayers and penance. Many can only be retrieved,
My child, by prayers and sacrifice.” –
Jesus, June 18, 1975
A HEAVY CROSS
"I have prepared you in the past, My child, for much persecution. I have not
directed you falsely. All who follow My Son will carry a heavy cross. It is
through suffering that you will gain a measure of perfection.
"Every moment of your life is not wasted if you will learn a lesson, a very
simple lesson, on the road to sanctity. You will use every moment of your life
and give up your hardships as a sacrifice, as a penance for your soul or the
salvation of other souls. Think, My child, throughout the hours of your day, how
many graces you may accumulate for the waiting souls in purgatory, especially
those who have been abandoned by their loved ones, forgotten. For when you are
out of sight, you are slowly out of mind.” –
Our Lady, September 28, 1974
“THE PERSECUTION WITHIN THE
HOUSE OF GOD WILL BE HEAVY”
"Before this battle is over, many who remain to stand forth to protect the honor
of My Son will be subjected to torments from their own. Many martyrs will enter
into the Kingdom. The persecution within the House of God will be heavy. The
agents of hell seek to destroy My Son's House on earth. Many of the dedicated
will grow weak and fall in with the plan of satan, preferring to accept a life
without suffering on earth, refusing and casting from their minds the reality of
the eternal life of the Kingdom.” –
Our Lady, February 1, 1973

they will understand that they will repel the demons."

these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the
