Actually, this is good news on several counts.

By censoring this young lady in public, the censors provided far more publicity for the speech in question than it would have ever received otherwise. Kind of like how banning a book is often a good way to get it on the bestseller list.

I also wonder how many parents in the Las Vegas area finally decided that it was a good time to give homeschooling or private schools a try after having read this story.

Finally, these type of stories are also a good way to flush out the zealots in the opposition. Interesting how they go back to the legalistic mantra of how a rule was violated. In this case, the young lady...horror of horrors...didn't abide by her "agreement" to stick to the edited text.

There needs to be more good examples like her out there in the real world and in the schools.
