A 7th Grader Wouldn’t Back Down When Her Teacher Told Her to Deny God. Then Came the Backlash.

It’s pretty simple, really. All children should be taught that when a teacher threatens them with an “F” they should say “Uhh, yeah, my parents are gonna need that in writing, including your signature and the very specific requirements I did not meet.”

Pics or it didn’t happen.

I too received a poor grade in my sociology class in college because I routinely debunked the professors liberal agenda.

I countered his “America is inferior to Canada” crap with facts and the 18 year olds were amazed. It helped that I was originally a Canadian citizen. You could see the professor become visibly enraged.

When I was in public grade school in NJ in the 1940s, in home room we were REQUIRED to pick and read a psalm, say the Lords prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance.

“Find the bastards and string THEM up with some damn piano wire!”

I am not sure that statements like this enhance the image of Christianity or lessen the appeal of being non religious. That said, if true, the teacher’s behavior was outrageous. If the teacher insisted the answer was False, rather than Opinion, then she insulted about 5 billion believers of one flavor or another.

Oh, you think I should apologize? If so, it ain't happenin'.

When those defending such horrific conduct on the part of the teacher, choosing to begin the process of online threats and intimidation of that 12 year old girl, telling her to "kill herself", let me tell you pal, piano wire is probably TOO GOOD for such dirt bags.

More details.

The conservative school board tried to change a lot and the bureaucrats didn't like it. For example, they tried to change the AP History curriculum back to a more traditional presentation of American History and were slapped down with sick outs and student walk outs. Something that the Unions are very good at since they strike every few years. This got a lot of press and painted the conservative school board as closed minded and unfair.

Bottom line: the Unions are pretty good at the misinformation game and with the local MSM in their hip pockets, the recall almost inevitable.

The link to the Katy isd web site is dead, but the news story reprinted the Katy isd statement.

My “tag line” says it all.....

Thanks.

Using God as the subject of a “critical thinking” lesson for 7th graders, proves the teacher herself isn’t capable of such. It’s comparable to 7th graders attempting quantum theory math.

What a messed up education system our billions in tax dollars hath wrought.

I believe the kid over the school board.

I think the girl (or her parents) released her own name.

[gleeaikin]

Apparently, what actually happened has been seriously misrepresented. The school has questioned other students in the class, none of whom agree with what the girl has charged. The test was not graded, and the school has removed the question from the test. Here is the link for additional information.

What on earth is your source for the teacher telling the girl to “kill herself” on line?

[gleeaikin]

This story may be a serious misrepresentation of the facts. Apparently the quiz was never graded, and that question has been removed from the quiz if it is ever used again.

More information indicating story was way overblown.

What on earth is your source for the teacher telling the girl to "kill herself" on line?

I never said the teacher herself did, re-read the pertinent part of my post #86, and pay close attention:

When those defending such horrific conduct on the part of the teacher, choosing to begin the process of online threats and intimidation of that 12 year old girl, telling her to "kill herself"...

Note: I referred to those who would defend the conduct of the teacher, choosing to "begin the process of online threats ...", not to the specific teacher.

Get it now?

As for my 'source' for the online comments telling that girl to kill herself, how about Jordan Wooley herself?

Twelve-year-old Jordan Wooley says she has been bullied and told to kill herself following media coverage of her story.

As for 'snopes.com'? Screw the liberals running that disinformation website. No thinking conservative should trust what those libtards have to say about anything. Here's an example: they still are actually trying to defend Hillary Rotten Clinton from the historical FACT that she was fired from the Watergate Committee in '74 by Jeffrey Zeifman.

Any further inquiries, just let me know.

Still waiting for Snopes to debunk the "hands up don't shoot" narrative. But hell will freeze over, or the Jets or Bucs will win a Super Bowl before that ever happens.
