High School Student Suspended For Handing Out Religious Literature

The Staunton, Virginia News Leader reported today on the three-day suspension of a high school student who refused to stop distributing religious literature at her Augusta County public high school. The student, Samantha Weatherholtz , had passed out about 100 leaflets when Fort Defiance High School's Assistant Principal told her to stop. The only comment from school officials was from Assistant Superintendent George Earhart, who said: "I am certainly going to look into it next week. At this point, I do not have anything else to say."
