A seventh grade student in Katy, Texas says that her reading teacher instructed her class that God is a “myth” and that any student who says God is a “fact” or an “opinion” is wrong.
Jordan Wooley, a straight-A student at the West Memorial Junior High School–part of the Katy Independent School District (ISD)-said she and her classmates were told by their reading teacher that God is not real and that answers to the contrary would warrant their grades being docked.
According to a report in Covering Katy, Jordan and her class were administered a test on the existence of God on Monday.
“We were asked to take a poll to say whether God was fact, opinion or a myth, and she (the teacher) told anyone who said God was a fact or an opinion that they were wrong,” she said.
Jordan’s mother, Chantel Wooley, said the test accounts for about 40 percent of her daughter’s grade in the reading class. Despite this, she said her daughter was not willing to renounce her faith in God.
Wooley continued that the exercise about God did not come from a workbook, as the students do not use workbooks in this class.
According to the report, Jordan’s teacher taught several other classes that day, all of which included the same instructions about God.
At the Katy ISD school board meeting, Jordan spoke during the public comments portion and said, “Another child had asked the teacher if we could try to put what we believe on the paper, and she [the teacher] said you can if you want to get it wrong.”
“It appears the teacher was not following Katy ISD’s curriculum, because Memorial Junior High students who have a different reading teacher said God was never mentioned in their class, according to Wooley,”

Yep, once AGAIN, no names mentioned. Why even bother reporting it?
Watched the video this morning. A very brave girl to stand up for her God-given rights.
The dogmatic totalitarians strike again!
Another defective product of the "Education Mills."
Any wannabe intellectual who would state that any "opinion" is wrong is not only delusional, but probably insane. The stuff of totalitarians. I have met a few.

No need to get physical.
That is usually the last refuge of the terminally ignorant.
I would just like to know this pervert's name.
No group resists the idea of a God as strongly as the sexually deviant.
What is his/her name?
No, actually there is a need. The only option is open or closed fist.
This won’t go over big in Katy. I hope the teacher has back up employment plans.
How does your belief in a Supreme Being affect your reading?
NAME OF TEACHER. Why is the name of student, a minor, reported but the teacher is not? NAME.
Exactly!
If the Adult teacher is so confident in her rubbish she is spewing, then why does she hide?
