STORY ONE:
The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a lower court ruling that said families of victims in the Columbine school massacre in Colorado may not make reference to God in memorial tiles along the school’s corridors, reports the Denver Post.

Brian Rohrbough, whose son Danny was killed in the attack, sued the district when they told him he could not include any religious references in two 4-inch tiles that are part of a the memorial. By declining to hear an appeal of the lower court ruling, he said, the court is censoring him.

"If you asked me to create a memory of my son, it is always going to include a reference to God because it is a core value," said Rohrbough. He said the tile was not meant to proselytize and only someone standing very close would be able to see what is on the individual tiles.


STORY TWO:
Students at a school district in Great Britain are now required to ask permission from their target before they throw any snowballs at them, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Students at Fairway Middle School in Norwich have been told they will be punished if they launch sneak attacks.

Head teacher Douglas Gowans said the policy is an extension of normal school rules. "We told the children that if they were playing a game they had to make sure that everybody who was taking part wanted to be in it," he said.

Thanks Jhogan!

So much for living in the land of the free! And those schools you mentioned & I'm sure many others are going a tad over board!
