Can this teacher even DO this? Isn't it illegal? *The Dark Angel*

  Author:  15319  Category:(Discussion) Created:(1/25/2002 8:43:00 PM)

Ok heres the deal. I have this English teacher who teaches 9-12th grade Literature and Grammer. I won't say the school name or teacher name for privacys sake.

Anyway I have her for 3rd period English IV, and every morning she puts a word of the day on the board for her to discuss with us.

And also, every morning she reads to ALL her classes some of the Bible and preaches about accepting Jesus and God. She reminds us to look to Jesus for our answers and to read Gods word, the Bible.

Now everyone on this site knows by now I'm a Wiccan/Pagan and I don't believe in the Bible. Over 95% of the ENTIRE town I live in is Christian and to the best of my knowledge, there is ONE other Pagan in the whole city of 2,100.

My question is, is it legal for her to be preaching the Bible to us? Would it be wrong to write an anonymous letter to the superintendent and ask him to tell her to stop? Doesn't she break the Church and State clause in the constitution?

p.s. Her word of the day for Wednesday was "Tolerance". It sounded great for me, but she said and I quote "We shouldn't tolerate Pagan worship or idol worship or devil worship. We should try to stay away from tolerance because tolerance leads to temptation"

Date: 1/25/2002 8:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    Its small town chill out let them do it . It obviously doesnt bother you to much just leave it alone cause trust me really you piss one teacher off escpecialy if they share stuff in common(um like same religion)you will be sooo screwed. Bigtex  
Date: 1/25/2002 8:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 49101    Um, 95% or no, what she is doing is not legal.  
Date: 1/25/2002 8:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    I am really serious about the whole teacher thing. But if you are getting really affected like if she starts directing stuff like that at you go for it and write a letter. Bigtex  
Date: 1/25/2002 8:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 40543    definately not legal  
Date: 1/25/2002 8:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    seperation of church and state unless your at a private religious school than no this isn't legal....  
Date: 1/25/2002 8:57:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 15319    Bigtex it is seriously offending me because she does it like every single day and other kids who don't care for the Bible are getting tired of it also. We have B.A.S.I.C. (Brothers and Sisters in Christ) and FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) in our school too!  
Date: 1/25/2002 9:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 10534    I don't think it's legal!  
Date: 1/25/2002 9:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 9713    Bigtex....that comment was really rude....to answer your question DA...Yes it is illegal. If you feel it is neccesary, go for it and write to the principal or superintendent. Who knows, you might be helping out other people too.  
Date: 1/25/2002 9:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 16538    Umm obviously you didnt read my post forever yours i said "But if you are getting really affected like if she starts directing stuff like that at you go for it and write a letter" so i dont see how that is rude as big of a christian i am i do think that it is rude of them to do that in a public school. And yes you should do something about it. Bigtex  
Date: 1/25/2002 9:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 12103    wow..something is real wrong there..you need to speak up, and write a letter to the princpal or something about this.we all have freedom of religion...  
Date: 1/25/2002 9:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 25481    Dark Angel I truly believe it is Illegal. If they are going to teach one religion in school, then they teach all! And that includes satanism, because Satanism is a religion. So yea..Also liek in choir at my school we always sing hese songs about "Lord, and god and jesus and stuff." and i think thatis a form of introducing Christianty to studets..But thats jsut my opinion...I dont think its right,...  
Date: 1/25/2002 9:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 25481    Also at my school we have YFC ( Youth For Christ) I wish someone would start a pagan group for students and other things ....  
Date: 1/25/2002 10:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 30085    Im sorry to say this but I think that it is ok. I think that children should learn all about GOD and other religions and when they get older they can make up there own minds. A Little Sunshine  
Date: 1/25/2002 10:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 45684    If people want to learn about religion, they should go take some theology classes at the college. This teacher is wrong in what she is doing. It is against the law. Stand up! ~technicolor  
Date: 1/26/2002 1:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 16705    well i myself believe we should talk about the LORD but we're not all the same. no she shouldn't do that but if you didn't want to listen to it why didn't you get up and leave? we people who believe in the LORD should have the right to pray to him.

Date: 1/26/2002 6:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 28363    Hehee, well you have your agenda-- and the teacher has hers-- sounds about even to me-- LOL--
From what I have seen every goth and pagan I know is soo depressed and in a rut-- and they dont even know why, Good luck with all this.
  
Date: 1/26/2002 1:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 15319    Hamb its against school rules to up and walk out of a class. Also why should I be the one to leave? Shes the one breaking the law. You refer to the LORD as if your God and mine are different, they are one in the same. So shes not praying to HER lord, but OUR lord. Secondly, she is praying in a Christian manner. I don't think anyone would like it if I started a prayer that began with "Our holy Lord and Lady". Sunshine please tell me how a teacher openly promoting Christianity in a public school is ok. Donno, I'm not depressed actually, I got a lot going for me right now!
