Besides the spiritual benefit the boy will get from reading the Bible, he is exposing himself one of the great works of literature. Later on, when he reads other literature, he will pick up on biblical references that other kids won’t have a clue about. He is likely to become a better reader and a better writer. And he will become aware of one of the cornerstones of our civilization.

That used to be what education was about.

God bless him.

Just curious-—why would the stats on her property matter?

They don’t matter at all.
They are however a matter of public record.
As is her harassment of small helpless children’s religious views.

“I noticed that he has a book – a religious book – in the classroom,” she said on the recording. “He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

********************************************************
Power Trip. Big Bully teacher pushing little kid around. School Board needs to address her big ego - she thinks she sets the rules instead of them.

Wonder what would have happened, if that had been a little kid reading the Koran? If she had treated such a child the same way she treated this child, you can bet that the reaction of the parents wouldn’t have been a polite letter.

This teacher should be fired - unfortunately she will just be rehired in a neighboring district in a school run by a fellow minion of satan.

""...students students may read their Bibles or other scriptures, say grace before meals, and pray or study religious materials with fellow students during recess, the lunch hour, or other noninstructional time to the same extent that they may engage in nonreligious activities."

Is free-reading time noninstructional time? Millions of dollars will be spent on attorneys to answer that question.

Why do they keep the students ignorant?

So they can become good dependable Dummycrat voters in the future.

“Owns property in PLANTATION, FL.”

How ironic, further proof the Dems have locked up the Plantation, there just is no leaving.

a written apology to the boy

Nonsense!

The apology should in person and in front of the boy's parents and the school administrator.
