The G-Word

A Nevada high schooler who tried to use the G-word during her valedictorian speech had her microphone cut by school officials worried about what they said was possible proselytizing during a school sponsored event, reports the Associated Press.
Officials from the Clark County school district cut off Foothill High School valedictorian Brittany McComb as soon as she began deviating from a pre-approved speech and reading from a version that mentioned God and made references to the Bible.
The local branch of the ACLU said the school did the right thing, but some of the 400 people attending the event disagreed and jeered when the ceremony went silent. McComb herself said it was a free speech issue.
"I went through four years of school at Foothill and they taught me logic and they taught me freedom of speech," she said. "God's the biggest part of my life. Just like other valedictorians thank their parents, I wanted to thank my Lord and savior."
