Billings Gazette: A Yellowstone County District Court judge ruled this week that a former Butte High student's civil rights were not violated when school district officials wouldn't allow her to speak at a 2008 graduation ceremony because she refused to take religious references out of her speech. In a summary judgment issued Wednesday, Judge Gregory Todd said the decision of Butte School District No. 1 to prevent Renee Griffith, a valedictorian of the 2008 graduating class, from speaking at the ceremonies unless she changed references to "God" and "Christ" in her speech did not violate Montana law or the First Amendment.
