A legal defeat for a Bedford County father who says his son should be able

A teacher said the book "The Way Things Ought to Be" was too advanced for
nine- year- old Jason Gardner, and refused to let him read it in class.
Gardner's father sued, claiming his son's First Amendment rights were
violated.
But yesterday a judge said he'll probably dismiss that part of the lawsuit.
Gardner still claims there have been other incidents where teachers have
