Mormon Actress Won't Swear

Religious-rights lawsuit by student actress is back

Christina Axson-Flynn, a member of the LDS Church, refused to take God's name in vain or use the f-word while performing scripted monologues in class. She claimed in a lawsuit that being required to set aside her religious beliefs violated her First Amendment rights, but the allegations were tossed out of district court.
Last time I checked, the First Amendment included no "right to be an actress". Sounds like a change in major is in order. Or perhaps this young lady would find the drama department at Liberty University more to her liking. Wait a minute...she's attending the University of Utah. Why isn't she going to Brigham Young? I'm sure they would never put on any performance that included profanity.

Hey, that reminds me of a joke. What's the difference between LSD and LDS? One you take with a grain of sugar, the other with a grain of salt. =)
