Whatever you say... Leprechauns are real!

I was surfing the web via NetNewsWire @ digg.com and found this interesting article. Apparently an art student in Portland was expelled from art school for trying to tell a girl that her belief in Leprechauns could not be scientifically proven. The student is an Atheist while Mrs. Four Leaf Clover believes in alternate energy levels of existence. He gets kicked out of school for having a conversation she initiated in the first place. And to top it off the school has a bi-law that disallows any students to talk about spirituality.

What is the world coming to? Why is it so afraid of something bigger? Besides the ridiculousness of expulsion and the nature of the conversation, isn't this against our rights as Americans, to be denied the right to talk about spirituality? It irks me. Anyways, the article was very funny, but it really pained me in the end.
