Is this how we wish our children to become?

No wonder so many are now home schooling.

Creeping, and encroaching secularism. Soon enough, no Child will believe in God.

There’s really only one way to ensure a separation between state and Church. To do that, you have to take faith and God out of the equation.

This is ripe for a lawsuit.

How can the teacher tell her that the subject of God as someone a student admires be off limits?

This has nothing to do with all the separation of church and state issues which the liberals lecture us about. This is about one student’s own belief, and one student’s own choice of subject for a school assignment. It has nothing to do with school curriculum or any of that.

.

An idol is an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed or any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, or devotion.

We have a lot of completely worthless people going into teaching for the sole purpose of creating a generation of dedicated socialist soldiers. They don't love kids AT ALL but they weren't smart enough to work for the Democrat "inner party".

It's not ok to write about the creator of the universe as an idol, but it's ok to write about a dead drug addict, pedophile.

What have we as a society come to? It's time to pull children out of the Government Indoctrination Centers, and home school them.

Therefore, Michael Jackson can’t be God.

Glad we solved that.

So the most blatant pederast in history is OK but not God?

Writing about this sick SOB is OK, but not God....

Michael Jackson 'spent $35 million to silence at least two dozen boys he abused' according to secret explosive FBI files

One of the paintings this "hero" had commissioned for himself...

Lets have a judge decide that there is no God and she can't admire someone who isn't there. Yeah! Go judge!!! God save the Republic.

“The teacher approved of Erin’s second choice — Michael Jackson.”

Quite the drop off from Number One to Number Two.

To say the least, Dilbert San Diego! The girl and her mother need an assault lawyer in a truly serious way.

Sadly, thanks to FDR’s anti-religious expression activist justices and their misrepresentation of Jefferson’s “wall of separation,” “mom” undoubtedly doesn’t understand 10th Amendment protected power of her child and their state to address religious issues.

I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on television but what this teacher is saying - and just for the sake of argument let us agree that there is a sep of church and state in the Constitution - is that the student belongs to the state. Just because those employed by the school cannot mention God does not mean that students cannot. The students do not belong nor work for the state but that is what the educators imply by trying to enforce an unConstitutional ruling.

If the teacher did not want an essay with a religious context, she should not have chosen a word like “idol” that is rooted in religion. She should have said “Pick a person you admire,” or something to that effect.
