As a business owner, if I told one of my employess that they could not wear a Cross, Star of David or alike and then fired them for it....I would be subject to both civil and criminal prosecution...

Why would a teacher (an employee of a city or county) have less protection...

I could understand if she was preaching from the front of the class, but this doen't appear to be the case....

She should easily win in the civil case and the local Federal Prosecutor should indict and convict the appropriate school administrator...

Actually, you wouldn't. Southwest Airlines fired a flight attendant for wearing a cross, carrying a bible and talking about her beliefs while at work, and the firing was upheld in court.

An Arlington, Texas, police officer was fired for adding a cross to his uniform. He was asked to remove it, would not, was fired. His firing was upheld last month by the US Supreme Court.

No one has the right to wear whatever they want, ESPECIALLY in a private business, especially in a right-to-work state.
