A Texas girl spoke out after her teacher alleged made her say "God is a myth," has experienced fallout for standing up for herself and her beliefs.
Twelve-year-old Jordan Wooley says she has been bullied and told to kill herself following media coverage of her story.
It started when Wooley's teacher assigned a quiz at Katy, Texas's West Memorial Junior High School asking students to label statements as "fact, assertion, or opinion."
Statements included "America is the most free country on Earth," and "there is a God." Jordan labeled the latter as "fact,' and her teacher told her to mark it otherwise, or face an "F" grade.
The Katy Independent School District claimed that it never happened and that Wooley's story could not be verified. But Wooley would not relent, calling the school board "liars," and demanding an apology in a statement on Monday.

The more I hear, the more it seems Texas is slipping to the dark side.
And I’m sitting over here, homeschooling my kids. Keep trying to “change it from the inside,” folks!
What happened to reading, writing and “rithmatic”?
Padlock the government indoctrination centers.
Cut the state budgets in half.
Problem solved.
she doesn’t have a hole in her side for you to put your hand into so guess this will have to do...

The clock boy is hitting up the school system for 15 million bucks. He’ll probably get it.
Google Jefferson County School board recall. Failure mostly due to misinformation and lies. Be prepared. Liberal MSM news lied and the had to retract but by that time it was too late.
I went to Beverly Hills schools never experienced any of this but that was over 10 years ago so things might have changed. Just want the best education for my little guy. She might send him to a Jewish school but even some Jewish schools teach that homosexuality is A OK so it all depends on the school
My sister raised her kids then went back to school and has taught for 25 years, this is her last. She loved it but can no longer go along with the bull. She says all the good teachers are leaving.
Nope. ELIMINATE the budget for Government schools.
Issue vouchers for every school aged child to the school of their parents’ choice.
Bingo! I was right. The school likely took down Ms. Silguero’s pages due to backlash. I just posted a great article with all the lies from the school exposed. Long read but well worth it.

They insist on separation of church and state. However, have no problem shoving the religion of atheism down the throats of young children.
I agree with you something is fishy about this story
If it was ungraded why did the teacher threaten to give her a grade of F.
Good decision. Two of my grandkids go to public school in SoCal and the things they are learning...
There should be no Department of Education. Donald Trump wants to completely cut the Department of Education as well as HUD and several other trouble making, useless, pencil pushing jobs for the Democrat cronies.
Where is the left yelling SEPARARTION OF CHURCH AND STATE! The question shouldn’t have been on the test according to them.
O that's beautiful.
