BECAUSE SHE WASN’T A MORMON

(I posted the video that appeared on KUTV utah, but shortly after posting it, the fine Mormons at YouTube flagged and censored the story despite FAIR USE laws, so here it is in text format)

From the Salt Lake Tribune:

Michelle Bliss was thrilled Monday when she received a call telling her that her daughter’s essay about a true Christmas story had been selected to run in a supplement to the Deseret Morning News.

Her elation was short-lived, however. The woman asked whether she was Mormon. When she replied that she was not, the woman apologized and said they were only running essays on Mormon families.

Her daughter, seventh-grader Georgia Clyde, was one of several students whose class essays were sent to the paper by Olympus Junior High School English teacher Jennifer Allred for consideration in its “Christmas I Remember Best” contest.
