The family of a second-grade student at a Texas elementary school says their daughter’s teacher took her Bible away during a “read to myself” session.
The Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal group specializing in religious liberty cases, says the family reached out for assistance after a teacher at Hamilton Elementary in Cypress allegedly told the girl not to bring the Bible back to school again.
The teacher reportedly said the Bible is inappropriate reading material. …

Someone posted the same story one minute after you.
Legimate question: Are you guys notified by Fox News whenever they post a new story, and you then immediately go to FR to link it? This happens all the time, and I have always wondered how that happens.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
This is why I keep telling everyone that we should only allow grownups to be teachers. ADULTS! These clowns should be nowhere near American children. There is NOTHING inappropriate about The Bible.
Bump
Gather a posse and go to the school with GUNS! These Orwellian thought police need to be run out with fear.
Imagine if a teacher took a Koran away from a muslim kid. They would really have to keep her identity secret.
It just shows, along with Cornball and George P., that TX is not nearly as conservative as some seem to think.
It’s 12% black and 37% Hispanic (and gaining).
So you’re correct.
There is NOTHING inappropriate about The Bible.”
Not sure of the source but the teacher and school district really are trying to put a spin on all of this by saying that she could read anything during free time that she was able to if she was old enough to understand what she was reading and could pronounce the words.
School administrators are also spouting that the parents should have just talked with them to resolve the issue. Had they done so though, we all know that this story would never have seen the light of day.
Hats off to the parents for shining some light on this issue.
“Heather Has Two Mommies” is OK?
koran would have been okay...
.
So why isn’t the name of the “alleged” “Teacher” published?
Let’s find out who he/she is
““Heather Has Two Mommies” is OK?”
Yeah, I can see it now:
“Teacher, how do you pronounce c-u-n-n-i-l-i-n-g-u-s ?”
The teacher must have afraid that other students seeing a Bible being read in class would have caught their interest.....
Can’t have little Susie being a bad influence now can we ? / S

The lawyer would have been my second stop.
Because the first stop would have been with a baseball bat....
I do think you may be right. We do have pockets of muslims and their korans and head dressers in schools. AND, we do have education administrators who have cajones smaller than a sugar ants. Korans are allowed, and muslim women’s day wear, but since the communists of this country have found the little blurb in the Communist Manifesto, it’s all about separation of church and state and NOT about our First
Amendment to the Constitution of America. “Whereby it states
“Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion”,......So the members of the media and even members of our congress spounting the communist manifesto, that there will be a separation of church and state. We don’t have that. We allow all people with their faiths to practice it, without interference of our government. The
communists and muslims countries have only their “faiths”, no foreigner can practice their faiths.
And you have a problem with double posting why?
