POMPANO BEACH, Fla., - A Florida school district said two teachers are under investigation for allegations they poured holy water on an atheist colleague.
Schandra Rodriguez, a teacher at Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach who identifies herself as an atheist, alleges colleagues Leslie Rainer and Djuna Robinson, both self-proclaimed Christians, poured holy water on her March 11 because of her beliefs, WPLG-TV, Miami, reported Tuesday.
The Broward School Board said Rainer and Robinson were removed from their classrooms and the allegations are being investigated.
Johnny McCray Jr., an attorney for the pair, said the incident was a joke that was blown out of proportion.
"Miss Robinson obtained a little bottle with some perfume in it in jest and the students will all confirm she never went close to Miss Rodriguez. Miss Rodriguez was on the other side of the classroom and that was basically it," he said.
Lets try something besides imaginary / idolatrous nonsense:
Holey water.
Maybe they thought she was a Chia Pet, and wanted to see her become lush.
Bet those teachers are Protestants ~ (BTW, we don't use "holy water" ~ but sometimes you'll hear of a radio preacher selling anointing oil)
Since an atheist by definition does not believe in God or holy water then it could not have happened.
If she is atheist then she does not believe there is any think such as HOLY water. Its all just water to her. Take it to court expose her as a fraud I say.

It can't be holy water unless you believe it is holy water.
Why should atheists care anything about holy water? Since there is no God, it’s just water. Big deal.
She’s a rootworker type using Atheism as a coverstory so she doesn’t get ridiculed AND fired.
If you’re an atheist, it’s just water, right? So why care?
Was Schandra Rodriguez actually assaulted by “holy water”, or was she merely served a modest dose of Kharma?
BTW, why did anyone know of Schandra Rodriguez’s personal atheism in her place of government employment?
Does her right to be an atheist trump her colleagues right to their own religious beliefs?
Oh ouch! Someone splashed water on me! I’m gonna die!
How bad was her skin burned?
"Miss Robinson obtained a little bottle with some perfume in it in jest and the students will all confirm she never went close to Miss Rodriguez. Miss Rodriguez was on the other side of the classroom and that was basically it"
So, they did it in front of her students - that's disturbing.
