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 junior high school in Katy, Texas is under scrutiny after a teacher gave an assignment to her class where they had to deny the existence of God.
Student Jordan Wooley, 12, told ABC News that her reading class was given an assignment to identify statements as fact or opinion. When Jordan marked the statement “There is a God” as both a fact and an opinion, her teacher marked the answer as wrong. According to USA Today Jordan tried to explain to the teacher that it could be either answer, based on a person’s beliefs, but the teacher stated the answer was still wrong and that Jordan had to say God wasn’t real. The assignment was graded so if she did not deny God, she couldn’t pass the assignment.
Jordan then told her mom when she got home.
“In this day in age, I would have never guessed that something like this would happen in a classroom in America,” Chantel Wooley told ABC News.
The Wooleys then visited the school district’s Board of Education meeting to inform them of the situation.
“Today I was given an assignment in school that questioned my faith,” Jordan said at the meeting.
The Katy Independent School District has apologized since the incident and released a statement saying that the exercise was intended to encourage critical thinking, not question any religious beliefs of the students.
“Still this does not excuse the fact that this ungraded activity was ill-conceived and because of that, its intent had been misconstrued,” the district said in its statement.
The teacher in question has not responded to any requests for comments regarding the situation.
If the shoe was on the other foot with the LGBT crowd or done to a muslim it would make the news way more than this did. It reflects the growing antichrist spirit that we were warned would hit the world in the last days! Cheer up and get ready for more things like this. Make up your mind to serve the Lord thru all problems and persecutions! Revelation 12.
The teacher needs to be sued and forced to resign or be fired. We need to set this as an example. The Bible says not to let others take away our freedom, let”s not.
Trying to encourage critical thought? Seems this little girl thought very critically to answer the way she did. Truly the teacher wanted conformity of thought.
