A high school class's top student took the show at her graduation with a nearly 20-minute speech urging her fellow students to find God -- a topic that prompted a commencement controversy.

"I want to tell you that Jesus Christ can give you eternal life in heaven," Spaulding said before the crowd. "If we die with that sin on our souls, we will immediately be pulled down to hell to pay the eternal price for our sins ourselves."

For 17 minutes, Spaulding's speech went on, making religious references to Bible scriptures that were often followed with applause.
While some were uncomfortable about her message, there were others who felt it was very appropriate speech.

I had to post this..This is the high school i graduated from last year..and i remember that girl.Anyways I understand that we must spread the love of God and everything but it was inappropriate. This is not a religious school. There are plenty of students who are not Christian and to go on and on about this prob. messed up their graduation. Think of it this way what if she were muslim and spoke of Allah and Mohammad..I bet there would be uproar and everyone would be furious. I just wanted to know what you guys think.
