Atheist student's editorial pulled from paper

The editorial titled "No Rights: The Life of an Atheist" accuses administrators, teachers and coaches of promoting their Christian beliefs with students.
 
Krystal Myers told the Knoxville News Sentinel that as captain of the swim team she felt compelled to participate in Christian prayers before swim meets (http://bit.ly/xqEXP6 ). She also complained that school board meetings begin with prayers and that teachers often use Bible verses for a "Quote of the day" they write on classroom boards.
