Greetings Sorors sisterfriends, and Fellow greeks. I just want an opinion about a situation that happened at my school. Tuesday, we had an event called Unity Day. Everyone was excused from thier classes from 11:45-12:30 p.m. and we met in the Grand Ball room, and had a BEAUTIFUL ceremony, honoring the people that risked their lives in this tragedy, and we said a prayer for the family that have lost loved ones. My choir sung (American the Beautiful, God Bless America, Let there be Peace on Earth, and the Star Spangle Banner) We also said the Pledge of Alligiance, and the President of our university, asked us to bow our heads in silence to honor those who lost thier lives. Then he said this Beautiful prayer, and we decorated the yard with Flowers, and with 50 (small) American flags. O.k. now to my question. The President of out Student body, got up and said some encourageing words, that made us think. He said that what a shame that this event had to happen to bring Americans (Black white, hispanic, asian, ect) together. He also led us with a word of prayer. After this Beautiful Heart felt ceremony, we were dismissed, and this African American Freshmen stepped up to the mike, and said that " Although this was a horrible tragedy that United Sates had to experience, that this could be a sign from God for those of us who need to get thier lives together. He further went on by saying that he understands that we are all from different religions, and different faiths, but whatever God we serve, we need. to become right with our God, and to honor and serve him, because you never know when you are going to depart from this Earth. Then out of No where, a Guy started Shouting Go HOME

and some other things in his Language, then another Guy joined in saying the same thing in his Language. It really left a BAD taste in your mouth. Next thing I know the president of the university, rushes over and grabs the Microphone out of his hands.
now I understand that everyone doesn't serve the same God, but I just want your opinion. do you think this was neccessary. or needed? I mean, we just finished PRAYING, Singing GOD bless america, and saying the pledge of All. which has "ONE NATION UNDER GOD"..... and they didn't have ANYTHING to say, but as soon as a STUDENT gets up and says what I feel GOD led him to say, he gets rediculed. To top it all off, after the ceremony, I went straight to chior and my chior teacher (who's white, and by the way I am the only African American in the Class) thought that his comment was out of line, and he feels that there is a time a place for everything.

I came back at him by saying that "Jesus was talked about and rediculed EVERYTIME he preached the Gospel, and you can believe that he didin't only speak the Gospel in church. He just looked at me like I lost my mind (b/c in class I am the quiet one, and I don't EVER say ANYTHING) and contunied with rehearsal.
What do you think about this situations?
Sorry So long. I guess you can say that I am venting.
