But just don't say the "J" word

LAS VEGAS, NV -- School officials in Las Vegas cut a high school valedictorian's speech short last week after she made a religious reference.
Foothill High School senior Brittany McComb said, "Just like other valedictorians thank their parents, I wanted to thank my Lord and Savior."

But when she departed from her officially-approved text at last Thursday's commencement ceremony to mention Jesus and the Bible, public school officials cut off her microphone.

The crowd of nearly 400 graduates and their families angrily booed officials who silenced her.


Do you think the school officials did the right thing by cutting Ms. McComb's speach short?
