CWN Editor's Note: A seventh-grade teacher at a Connecticut middle school has been suspended for insubordination after she refused to remove a crucifix near her desk calendar (photograph).

Marisol Arroyo-Castro, who has hung the crucifix there for a decade, filed a lawsuit in federal district court on the grounds that the Consolidated School District of New Britain violated her constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion.
