Here's a teacher that can't keep religion out of public schools. If this teacher were truly religious, he would have been on top of the physical abuse that repeatedly was conducted by his colleague against a mentally retarded child over a period of several years - the teacher (from this very same school) banged the child's head onto the hard floor because the teacher "lost her cool." Some so-called 'religious' people prefer to preach Jesus, than actually "do" religion by helping their own community. Meanwhile, here's what the community thinks: ------------------------ "And a few blocks from the school, a home festooned with Christmas lights also sported a home-made lawn sign proclaiming, ``Keep Religion out of Public Schools.'' ``If I want my kids going to church, I'll take them,'' said Nathalie Schuler of her lawn sign. Schuler said she is requesting that her daughter not be placed in Williams' class next year. ``They're alienating those of us who are not as fundamentalist,'' Schuler said. ... Noravian said that when Williams sent his students home with a proclamation for national prayer day from President Bush, she and other parents complained to the principal. ``The class was studying George Washington at the time,'' Noravian said. ``It had nothing to do with George W. Bush or the proclamation of prayer.'' Noravian said that Williams' discussion of his Christian faith troubled her because Stevens Creek is a diverse school with many Jewish, Hindu and other non-Christian students. mercurynews.com
