Judge rules against religious expression
This is just getting ridiculous. Next PITA will get angry if anyone mentions the Easter bunny. Apparently there is no freedom of speech unless it is anti-God and pro-homosexuality.

A judge in Montana has ruled against a high school valedictorian who wasn’t allowed to speak at her graduation ceremony because she wanted to give God credit for her success.
Rennee Griffith is now in her second year of college. She graduated from Butte High School in 2008 as one of the valedictorians, but when she submitted a draft of her speech to school authorities, her First Amendment rights were violated.
“She was asked, as were the other valedictorians, to speak about what helped them get through school. Some people wanted to thank the football coach or the track coach or their uncle or a particular teacher, and they were permitted to do that,” explains Griffith’s attorney, Bill O’Connor. “The only thing they would not permit, by their own admission, was…her to attribute any achievements to her belief in God.”

I think you meant PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) rather than PITA (Pain In The Ass). Although, I can certainly understand confusing the two
