I wondered if this was all to the story.
But reporting it as such makes her a hero in the minds of fundies/freepers.
I particularly like this statement:
But Thompson said there is nothing in her contract that prohibits her from expressing facts or opinions. She is considering legal action, saying officials have yet to explain why her comments were inappropriate.
"I learned that free speech is definitely not free," Thompson said.
I suppose if religious zealots can decide for research scientists whether stem-cell research is valuable or not, then bus drivers can relay the musings of movies stars regarding the same topic...
