School tries to suppress speech of 5th grader on religion

[thewayne]

Kid gives a speech on how misguided religions can do bad things: the Crusades, 9/11, etc. Wins a blue ribbon, and a chance to compete at a higher level. And a school administrator thinks that the speech should be modified to remove references to religion.

*sigh*

Now, anyone under 18 doesn't have all of the rights and protections of the Constitution since they're minors. But this is just ridiculous.
