'Don't mess with the faith of our kids': Teacher snatches student's cross
WND ^ | 05/30/2023 | Bob Unruh

A dispute that erupted when a schoolteacher in Tennessee snatched a cross necklace from a student before allowing the child into a book fair has been resolved with an apology from the teacher, and the school.

The American Center for Law and Justice reported Monday on the resolution.

The organization, known for fighting for religious rights across American and around the world, explained it was a "big win for religious freedom."

And the message sent by the resolution was not to "mess with the faith of our kids."

"Not long ago, we told you about a Tennessee middle school student who wore a cross around his neck to school. When the child entered the school library for a book fair, an event that many of us still remember looking forward to each year, he was greeted instead by a teacher who took the cross," the organization explained.

"That alone would be startling enough to any kid, but this educator did so in front of numerous other students, as if to add to the child’s humiliation..."

Given the state of “education” today, probably not a book worth reading at this book fair.

Or with a crescent or Sikh kirpan.

The teacher committed robbery.

A win would be the firing of this teacher and any administrator who knew about it and did not fire the teacher, all the way up to superintendent. This is not revenge but protection. A person who would do this or condone it does not belong in the business of educating children.

“when a schoolteacher in Tennessee snatched a cross necklace from a student before allowing the child into a book fair has been resolved with an apology from the teacher, and the school.”

Back in the “good old days” teachers like this would be tarred and feathered and escorted out of town on a rail along with the school officials that allowed this ...

Really? An apology?

Should’ve sued them, got the teacher fired.

I assume the teacher physically snatched the cross. Charge the teacher with assault, then file a civil suit. Teachers are the worst trash and most undereducated people in America. They deserve only misery.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Incrementally, is how they take away the religious rights of Americans. Now, they are required to apologize. Soon, that will not be the result.

This is also how they will proceed to the point that Christians are jailed with all Constitutional rights removed due to “hate speech”.

Given the antisemitism of the left and that many teachers are leftists, that will come next.

Time for all practicing Christians and Jews to leave the schools and not look back.

I normally wear my Orthodox Cross hidden under my shirt, like most Orthodox men!

But I love to see an Orthodox woman wearing one in plain sight!

In any event—don’t mess with our crosses!!!!
