WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a valedictorian who complained that high school officials violated her constitutional rights when they turned off her microphone when she started sharing her faith during her graduation speech.
The justices refused to revive a lawsuit filed by Brittany McComb of Henderson, Nev. challenging the actions of Clark County school officials. A federal appeals court had previously ruled against her.
During McComb's speech at the Foothill High School graduation in 2006, officials turned off McComb's microphone when she strayed from a pre-approved text to describe Jesus' crucifixion and credit God for her success in school.
