Boy said he was banned from reading
"The Good Book"
during free-reading time in school. The boy and his father have hired an attorney,
calling this a violation of the boy's Constitutional rights.
Fact: The student was reading his Bible during a "classroom 'accelerated reading' program,"
not during a free-reading session.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck has noted that the boy and his father would be on Fox and Friends.
