If she claims to be a Christian, her minister should rebuke her and remind her that jesus says that anyone who offends the faith of a child will face His punishment.

“Whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believes in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea.” (Mark 9:42). Jesus is most protective of the faith of children, and the ungodly who embarrass them because of their faith will face unmerciful punishment from God.

”. . . students students may read their Bibles or other scriptures, say grace before meals, and pray or study religious materials with fellow students during recess, the lunch hour, or other noninstructional time to the same extent that they may engage in nonreligious activities."
Is free-reading time noninstructional time? Millions of dollars will be spent on attorneys to answer that question.
I think that "to the same extent that they may engage in nonreligious activities” should control. If he can read a book about baseball, he can read the bible. IMHO.

So socialized education is ok if we control it, but not Obamalinicare? What is with “conservatives” and their love of welfare education and intergenerational theft?

Dear Florida Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart:

I am informing you of the violation of U.S. constitutional rights by Broward County school Park Lakes Elementary teacher Swornia D. Thomas who refused to allow her student, Giovanni Rubeo, to read his Bible during free reading time.

You may think it is none of my business. However, any time the Florida teachers send ignorant students out into our society, it affects me and those I love. Knowledge of U.S. civics is extremely important, as well as the rule of law. Please correct your teacher corps.

Is “Swornia” the name this person was given at birth, or did he/she select it in the course of gender reassignment?

“She ain’t got nothing to say to you, she ain’t got nothing to say,” responded her husband. “Get me on camera, get the [expletive] out of my yard.”

The kid (as seen on the video) is about 10 zillion times more articulate than the teacher. It's pretty obvious why.

Christian taxpayers in the school district need to push back these liberal teachers and administrators at every opportunity. Most will probably not express displeasure because they have become “lukewarm” in their religious beliefs and want to be politically correct to get along.

The children will be watching how this incident plays out.

I seem to recall Jesus had some stern advice to those who would hurt HIS little children.

The apology should in person and in front of the boy's parents and the school administrator.

AND the entire class.... since that's who the fascist teacher saw fit to try to humiliate the boy in front of.
