Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A 10-year-old girl who finished an assignment to write about “someone she idolized” by writing about God was told by her teacher that she could not write about God.
The teacher then said the paper had to be taken home because it could not remain on school property.
“It was so cute and innocent,” mother Erica Shead told WREG-TV. “How can you tell this baby, that’s a Christian, what she can say and what she can’t say?”
Shead said that she met with the principal but many of her questions remain about the incident.
When Christian Ross, a spokesman for Shelby County Schools was asked why Erin Shead was not allowed to write about God when the school district doesn’t have a policy against students religious beliefs in class. Ross would not provide an answer.
“This incident has been addressed at the school-level, and the principal has contacted parents of the student regarding their concerns,” Ross told FoxNews. “Out of respect for and in order to protect the privacy of individual students and staff, the district is not commenting further on this matter.”
Clearly seems to be a direct violation of the child’s constitutional rights.
Shame on the PRINCIPLE !
Children go to school to express about what they want to say.The USA was founded on the one and true GOD.
Maybe the principle might learn something about GOD, if the student was allowed to write about GOD.
Will schools ever learn that the ACLJ has proven many times over that students have the right to free speach and can write about Christian subjects? God and Jesus are included. I hear the ACLJ tell people who call in that it is legal.
I understand that there is a group of lawyers, sorry don’t remember the name of their group, that take cases like this. If people would fight when their constitutional rights are violated, I believe school districts and other organizations would think before they make rules abusing those rights. As long as we still have a constitution, we should fight to uphold it. It doesn’t take much to imagine the alternative.
Take it to the next level, the school board, after that the Supreme Court.
I live in Nashville and can’t believe this lunacy is happening in our state. Shelby County, you should be ashamed – you know better!!!
