It is blatantly illegal to censor the word God in a paper from a publicly-supported community college.
Unlike a private college, her First Amendment rights apply.

That's correct, but her paper wasn't "censored." She just got an F for not following instructions (stupid as those instructions may have been). She wasn't prevented from writing it; in fact she was expressly given the option of keeping it as it was and getting a bad grade as a result.

Do they? Hmm. I suggest you take a look at any of the Ten Commandment threads: you'll find LOTS of people who will happily point out to you that the first Amendment says that *Congress* is barred from censoring this or that... not state court houses and the like. The first amendment does not mention community colleges.
