Teacher Confiscates Student’s Valentine’s Day Cards And You Can Probably Guess Why…

In Glenpool, Oklahoma, a mother is upset after her son’s teacher confiscated his Valentine’s Day cards.

During the second grader’s class party, he participated in handing out candy and valentines to his classmates. The card he distributed said “Happy Valentine’s Day” on one side, but on the other side, there was information about church services at LifeChurch. After seeing that, the teacher snatched up each card and got rid of them.

Shelley Sweeden, the student’s mother said, “It feels he’s been denied the right to express his love for his church and his faith.”

FOX23 downloaded the school’s handbook and it only mentions birthday invitations should not be brought to school for distribution. There’s no specific rule against Valentine’s Day cards or even religious invitations. However, the school still finds the card inappropriate.

Freedom from exposure to any and all Christian faith.

It's in the Constitution. Right?

Well, its actually SAINT Valentine’s day. That Saint thing is not secular. Kinda hard to ignore that for most but not this teacher.

Bet the teacher would have allowed it had the cards said “Allah Akbar” on the back

The name of my grammar school began with “St.” and yes, it was a public school.

If it were still in existence, some pearl-clutching commie would faint at the thought of her tiny comrade entering that building (but not before calling the ACLU).

No, but information and locations of abortion providers would be OK. You to take care of unwanted result from Valentines Day encounters.

What amazes me is that everyone, by now, should SEE CLEARLY what's going on.

Obviously they don't because NO ONE STOPS or CHALLENGES IT.

It just keeps happening to the OUTRAGE of those who continue to do NOTHING.

If it had been an invitation to a ‘RAT rally for Hillary, NEA fundraiser, or witches’ conclave, there would have been no problem.
