God Removed from First-Grader #39;s Poem in North Carolina Elementary School
On America Live today, Trace Gallagher reported on a story out of North Carolina, where an elementary school forced a first-grader to remove references to God from a poem she planned to read to fellow students. The student at West Marion Elementary School was set to recite a Veterans Day poem to honor her grandfather. The line that was removed read, "He prayed to God for peace, he prayed to God for strength." Supporters of the public school #39;s decision say officials had to remove the references to God once the poem was going to be read at an assembly. The Alliance Defending Freedom, which advocates religious freedom, criticized the school #39;s decision in a statement. "The censorship of this young student #39;s poem about her grandfather is repugnant to the First Amendment rights of all students and sends an impermissible message of hostility towards religion," the group argued.From:hrs91nViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:12More inNews Politics

STOCKHOLM - This year's Nobel Prize in literature winner, Mo Yan, who has been criticized for his membership in China's Communist Party and reluctance to speak out against the country's government, defended censorship Thursday as something as necessary as airport security checks.

He also suggested he won't join an appeal calling for the release of the jailed 2010 Peace Prize laureate, Liu Xiaobo, a fellow writer and compatriot.

Mo has been criticized by human rights activists for not being a more outspoken defender of freedom of speech and for supporting the Communist Party-backed writers' association, of which he is vice-president.

His comments Thursday, made during a news conference in Stockholm, appear unlikely to soften his critics' views toward him.

Awarding him the literature prize has also brought criticism from previous winners. Herta Mueller, the 2009 literature laureate, called the jury's choice of Mo a "catastrophe" in an interview with the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter last month. She also accused Mo of protecting the Asian country's censorship laws.

China's rulers forbid opposition parties and maintain strict control over all media.

Mo said he doesn't feel that censorship should stand in the way of truth but that any defamation, or rumours, "should be censored."

"But I also hope that censorship, per se, should have the highest principle," he said in comments translated by an interpreter from Chinese into English.

Mo is spending several days in Stockholm before receiving his prestigious prize in an awards ceremony next Monday.

He won the Nobel for his sprawling tales of life in rural China. In its citation, the jury said Mo "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary."

Chinese Nobel literature winner: censorship a must

STOCKHOLM (AP) This year's Nobel literature winner Mo Yan, who has been criticized for his cozy relationship with China's Communist Party, defended censorship Thursday as something as necessary as airport security checks.

He also suggested he has no plans to join an appeal calling for the release of the jailed 2010 Peace Prize laureate, Liu Xiaobo.

Mo has been criticized by human rights activists for not being a more outspoken defendant of freedom of speech and for being a member of the Communist Party-backed writers' association.

His comments Thursday, made in Stockholm, appear unlikely to soften his critics' views toward him.

Awarding him the prize has also brought criticism from previous Nobel winners. Herta Mueller, the 2009 literature laureate, called the jury's choice of Mo a "catastrophe" in an interview with the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter last month. She also accused Mo of protecting China's censorship laws.

Mo said he doesn't feel that censorship should stand in the way of truth but that any defamation, or rumors, "should be censored."

"But I also hope that censorship, per se, should have the highest principle," he said in comments translated by an interpreter from Chinese into English.

Mo, a Communist party member and vice president of China's official writers association, spoke at a news conference in Stockholm, where he is spending several days before receiving his prestigious prize in an awards ceremony next Monday.

Addressing an issue that is extremely sensitive for China's authoritarian Communist regime, Mo likened censorship to the thorough security procedures he was subjected to as he traveled to Stockholm.

"When I was taking my flight, going through the customs ... they also wanted to check me even taking off my belt and shoes," he said. "But I think these checks are necessary."

The Great Mouse Detective #39;s Unnecessary Censorship
In this YouTube Poop video, I made a joke that the characters from the movie, "The Great Mouse Detective," are swaring with the bleeping sound effects. One part is where Fidget reads Ratigan #39;s inappropriate list that has the censorship symbols. The other part is where the drunk mouse calls Ratigan a bad word that insults him. It #39;s really funny!From:CAM72894ifyViews:2 0ratingsTime:01:10More inFilm Animation
