Mississippi Atheists: Mississippi Children Punished For Saying Obama's Name

"According to WAPT News, two employees at Pearl Junior High threatened students in separate incidents for merely saying Obama's name. First, two boys were kicked off a school bus for commenting that Sen. Obama had won the election. Next, a girl's basketball coach told students that they would be suspended for saying Obama's name."


"Bill Jordan, the editor, refused to talk to the news media, which also gathered outside. He did issue this statement:

'We run a newspaper, not a memory book service. We covered the local commissioner’s race. We thought that was more important.'

However, the day before, the newspaper ran a story about McCain on its front page."

Sigh...
