Greenville talk radio station WORD is discussing this right now. Unbelievable. She needs to get a good Christian lawyer and sue the district. I did my student teaching in a large Greenville high school back in 90. I taught history. As extra credit, the students could read the book of John. Half the class signed off that they did. I bet I couldn't do that now.

And, who among the christians will support her? It is time for Bible-believing people to say, act and enforce that we are not going to take this any more. Problem is, may not be enough Bible-believing people left to organize.

If the teacher had made a comment about her sexual perversions, then her job would have been protected. How low is that? Prayer is coercive, perverse sex talk is not. "Me and my lesbian lover" is fine for a teacher to say. "I believe in Jesus and Heaven" is not. How backwards is that?

I am in the upstate and heard the teacher on WORD this morning as well. I heard Lisa Rollins (radio host) state that she had heard that this teacher was banned from walking on campus!

If this was a Muslim teacher the Left would be throwing money at her right now while demanding that Bush apologize to the Arab world on National TV.

The article did say 99% of the children are Christian. Perhaps the teacher could start a Christian school. I would bet that close to 99% of the children would be interested in attending.
The sad thing about public schools is that they can't address the spiritual needs of kids, so they discuss things such as homosexuality, transgendered lifestyles, abortion rights -- everything under the sun except what kids really want to talk about, such as Why am I here? What is the purpose of life?
The Southern Baptists want to start a movement to remove Christian kids from public schools. It might take hold.

They can't force her to leave her beliefs on the pavement outside the school. She answered a question from a child honestly, was not preaching.

Nothing about this counts as proselytizing--she was asked a question that she couldn't answer any other way but "yes"--
And getting in trouble for explaining all those fish on people's cars?

...asked if I believed that, and I said 'Yes.' Alternative answers:
...asked if I believed that, and I said 'No.' Now the teacher would be lying to her students, but administration would be happy at this answer.
...asked if I believed that, and I said 'I cannot discuss this subject with you.' What kind of message does this send to students when a question of interest and curiosity cannot be mentioned?
I think that all the other parents of kids in that classroom should immediately take their kids out and keep them home until this is settled. Then they should flood into the principal's office and demand that the atheist parent's child be removed from the school, or none of the kids will return. Alternatively, if administration is willing to apologize to the teacher and to all the other parents and agree to drop this stupid pandering, everyone would come back.

Are we the only ones who see the connection between the downward spiral of this country and the removal of prayer form school????

Blessed are you when you are persecuted for my name sake.
May the Lord Bless her and multiply her outreach a thousand fold because she stood up. May the Lord defend her and give her extra grace.
May sin be sin at that school board. May they stumble and fall in their politically correct decisions.

I have to reply to the one parent part.
I have been jousting with my daughter's high school on a couple of issues. I have some support from inside the school as well. One of the issues was was brought up at a staff meeting. A staff member reportedly quipped "its just one parent and he has a history of complaints". Another followed with "yes, but he has been right every time". In they end things did change.
Many parents see complaining to be fruitless or place their child at risk for retaliation. If they get one complaint, smart administrators know that there are other people concerned who did not. So, yes, action should be taken if something is wrong, even on the basis of one complaint.
That said, the complaint in this instance should have been found groundless and closed.
