(Nevada)[Todd Starnes/Fox News] UPDATE: Somerset Academy issued a formal written apology to 12-year-old Mackenzie Fraiser late Friday for denying her the right to use a Bible verse in a class assignment.

But the teacher had a problem with Mackenzie's inspirational message. She explained to the class that none of the students would be allowed to use any Bible verses or quotations from the Book of Mormon.

The message was clear: you cannot be inspired by religion.
