Teacher ousted for 'saying Obama not Christian'

A middle-school teacher in Dublin, Georgia, was tossed from school – and her job – for allegedly telling her students President Obama isn’t a Christian.

Nancy Perry is now due to retire at the end of the year, said Dublin Schools’ spokesman Chuck Ledbetter, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

“It is not the place of teachers to attempt to persuade students about religious or political beliefs,” Ledbetter said, in the news outlet. “In doing so, the teacher was wrong and that has been communicated to her. … Just as importantly, we are communicating this message to all staff of the school district.”

Perry, a longtime teacher at the school, allegedly made the remarks in March. In addition to saying Obama wasn’t Christian, she also reportedly told students anyone who voted for him wasn’t Christian

There is far more evidence that Obama is a Muslim than there s that he is a Christian.

FALSANI:
Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA:
Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

FALSANI: Have you always been a Christian?

OBAMA: I was raised more by my mother and my mother was Christian.

NOTE: He didn't answer the question!

OBAMA: I am a Christian. <[> So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.

On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.

I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.

My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.

And I'd say, probably, intellectually I've drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith. So, I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there's an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.

And so, part of my project in life was probably to spend the first 40 years of my life figuring out what I did believe - I'm 42 now - and it's not that I had it all completely worked out, but I'm spending a lot of time now trying to apply what I believe and trying to live up to those values.

The guy himself wasn’t ousted for saying it, why should she?

At worse, perhaps Steponalloverus should just call her up, and correct her... “you mean his Christian Faith.”

You can’t teach about religion UNLESS it’s about Mohammed and Islam.

I’d bet that if she phrased it differently and said “Obama is a good muslim” she’d still have her job.

And by the way, NOBODY is allowed to be of the opinion that he’s a muslim. A bunch of OPINION polls were taken and it was reported that those who were of the opinion that he’s a muslim were wrong. I guess that means they had the wrong opinion.

EXACTLY. You hit the nail on the head sir. She was canned for telling the truth. I predict, that eventually, we will be killed for telling the truth, and maybe not that far into the future. Does anyone expect the left wing, liberal, socialist pinko commie geeks to stop pushing their agenda? Keep your powder dry, you may need it.

Hope she sues them. It’s the only language other than violence that the leftist turds understand.

“Jesus is an historical figure for me...”
Those are not the words of a Christian. They are the words of a Muslim who relies on the koran claim that Jesus was never crucified and never arose and was just a minor “prophet.”

So teaching the truth is now a firing offence...

When will it be a criminal offence?

There is far more evidence that Obama is a Muslim than there s that he is a Christian.

So what?

There's far more evidence Trayvon Martin was attacking George Zimmerman than there is the Zimmerman shot Martin without provocation.

There's far more evidence that the Gentle Giant was charging Officer Darren Wilson moments after trying to grab his gun than there is that Wilson shot the Gentle Giant in the back just because he wanted to.

We live in an age where the Big Lie is something we get fed 24/7 by the MSM.

There will come a day when the Big Lie is used against a specific ethnic or religious group, just as it was in Germany in the 1930s, like it was used against the Tutsis by the Hutus in Rwanda in 1994. Those who defy the mob will face the threat of physical harm.
