An 11-year-old student in Hattiesburg, Mississippi wrote a poem about Christmas but received a deduction for writing about Jesus. His teacher insisted that mentioning Jesus was not allowed and asked him to write a new poem. He turned in the original poem with his parents' approval.

Although the principal overruled the teacher and gave the student a grade of 100, the teacher refused to post any student poems as she had promised.
