Todd Starnes Student Sent to Principal for Talking About Jesus

A Wisconsin teenager was sent to the principal’s office for talking about Jesus. Nathan De La Garza was having a conversation with another student about the Bible during free time at Park High School in Racine, WI. A teacher overheard him and told him that he wasn’t allowed to talk about religion. The following day, Nathan was sent to the principal’s office.

According to The Journal Times, Nathan said the principal told him “in a nice way” to stop talking about religion during class and “to keep it to lunch and out of school.” The principal said he might offend somebody and they might start a fight with him.

“The last thing we want is for you to get into a fight about God,” Nathan said she told him in an interview with the newspaper.

The school district declined to comment but confirmed Nathan’s version of events.

This atheist thinks that the kid has a right to dicuss his religion with anyone who wants to listen IN SCHOOL as long as it is done during free time and NOT disturbing or interrupting a class. The teacher was wrong.

and in the end it is just another black eye for secularists

the conservative fundies will point to this and day "SEE! we ARE being discriminated against!"

and then most Americans, unable to dismiss the obvious, will agree that secularists (liberals) "go too far" and should "just shut up" and "stop causing trouble"

then we'll have to listen to more crap about America being a "christan nation" and "god is on our MONEY and in our PLEDGE and our MOTTO and in ALL of our LAWS!" and "all our rights come from god!" and nonsense like that.

what bullshit. hopefully the teacher is fired and kid really lacks any strong relgious convictions if he stops talking about it out of fear of fights.

The teacher was wrong,
but deserves another chance if he shows the proper attitude and response.


Heck while I lived in Tampa a cop threw a disabled guy and his guide dog out of a restaurant.
Just for having a dog there. While they are clearly allowed by law.
Now that cop had no ambiguity in his decision and was just plain ignorant.
Not sure how a person could grow up and not know that law...
