Florida boy says he was barred from speech contest due to critical comments on religion | The Raw Story: A Florida fifth-grader said he was stripped of his blue ribbon and barred from taking part in a speech competition because his essay mentioned harm caused by religion.
His ribbon was taken away, and school staff, in what appears to be back pedaling, told his family the issue wasn't the religious content, but rather, mention of "mass murders" since that might upset fourth and fifth graders.
