Teacher, LGBT Partner Are ‘Anti-Christian Bigots’ for Banning Cross Necklaces
Lifezette ^ | 4/24/2017 | Leah Jessen

A lesbian teacher in Tampa, Florida, allegedly told at least three of her students to take off the cross necklaces they were wearing while in her ninth-grade classroom.

Lora Jane Riedas, a math teacher at Riverview High School, has apparently promoted an LGBT agenda in her school. She even displayed political-activist material in the classroom, including a button that says, “I love my LGBT students.”

“At the beginning of the semester, Ms. Riedas placed LGBT rainbow stickers on students’ classroom folders without their consent, which were there one day when the students arrived,” (snip)

The teacher and her partner are “anti-Christian bigots,” LifeZette Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham said on her radio show Monday, during an interview with Matt Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel.

“Parents have got to stand up and fight against this,” Ingraham added. “Otherwise you’re going to lose your kids and your schools.”(snip)

Liberty Counsel represents a ninth-grade student at Riverview High School. The student wore a tiny crucifix, less than one inch long, to school.

“I need you to take your necklace off,” Riedas allegedly said to a student.

“Our client did not want to be disrespectful, so she took it off, but she felt bad because she felt she was being forced to deny her faith,” states a demand letter sent to the Hillsborough County Public Schools superintendent from Liberty Counsel on behalf of parents of children in Riedas’ classroom.

The teacher claimed the cross necklaces worn by the students were “gang symbols,” according to Liberty Counsel.

Here’s an interesting tidbit about the teacher’s lesbian partner (who is also a teacher at the same school): “For spirit day, she came dressed as a Catholic nun,” said Staver on “The Laura Ingraham Show.” And that nun’s outfit came complete with a cross necklace, Staver noted.

If a parent doesn’t home school then they loose their ‘right’ to bitch about what their kids are taught!

This story is on Laura Ingraham’s FaceBook page, and she is the Editor-in-Chief of Lifezette, the article in the original post. I won’t post a link to Facebook here. And also in the link in my post 7 on this thread.

Remember, ‘strap on’ spelled backwards is ‘no parts’.

So you’re saying liberty center didn’t actually file a lawsuit? Or they don’t have a plaintiff who was actually a student at the school? Or are you saying they have and they do but she’s a liar?

Why do you think those two facts are NOT in the story? There’s a reason.
