True. However, by not allowing her the free expression of her ideas in the manner she saw fit, including refererence to God, it was an effective censorship and violation of her rights.

Nonsense. She was a student in a classroom, and she turned in a paper that didn't meet the conditions of her assignment. If you think giving her an F on the paper constitutes a violation of her free speech rights, your view of the First Amendment goes way, way beyond that of the Supreme Court even at its most "liberal."

Ghost....a professor does not have the legal authority to use such extreme limits on the free speech of their students by dictating what words to use or not use.

Thank God I never had a teacher like this in my classes.

Yeah, she did not follow his conditions, but his one condition was illegal.
