Parents at McCordsville Elementary School are furious over a 1st-grade teacher sending students home with a letter demanding the kids stop mentioning “God”, “Jesus”, or praying on school property.
According to a release from the school, a debate about God took place in a first grade classroom earlier this week. In response to the debate, the teacher wrote a letter about expectations in the classroom and sent it to parents. The letter talked about school language and asked parents to have a “talk” with their children about the appropriate time and place to talk about religion.
FOX59 obtained the letter from a parent of one of the students in the class, which reads in part:
“With Mccordsville Elementary being a public school, we have many different religions and beliefs, and I do not want to upset a child or parent because of these words being used.”
Can you imagine the outrage if these kids were Muslim instead of Christian? There would be riots! But, considering it’s the rights of peaceful Christian 1st-grade kids the left is all but silent. Which is ironic considering it was the inclusive love of Jesus that this nation was built upon and the reason people from every other country on earth comes here in droves to enjoy prosperity. Or at least that was the case until the globalist decided Christianity was too much of a threat to creating a new world order.
She is trying to brainwash children into Obama’s one world government and his beliefs. I would homeschool my shield and a lawsuit should immediacy be filed.
DEFINITION OF RELIGION
It is moot to try to ferret out the words Jesus, God or even the Bible out of the school because according to the definition of RELIGION found din the Bible, belief or anything that can be said about belief is not religion, and because government funded and managed public education itself is an establishment of religion in government.
Someone needs to read the definition of RELIGION found in the Bible, the very one that our founders used as counsel when crafting the first amendment.
RELIGION is not BELIEF, the WORD, the FAITH or anything that one could say about our FAITH.
RELIGION is a DOING of something appropriate or NOT DOING of something inappropriate.
The Bible contrasts RELIGION from BELIEF, the WORD, the FAITH.
RELIGION specifically is defined as that which we call CHARITY and also a statement of self discipline that is akin to an AIM OF EDUCATION teachers are sometimes encouraged to craft for their discipline, the best NOT the year’s rote learning, but with a view of a student under masters learning how to learn until out from under masters the student actualizes what was learned under masters and that which in self discipline he has learned on his own. In other words RELIGION is also EDUCATION.
In other words, in the public venue, prayers, the Bible, confessions, professions, statements of what one believes, IN GOD WE TRUST, words of the Ten Commandments on monuments in public squares, and stars of David or crosses in government managed cemeteries ARE NOT RELIGION.
What IS RELIGION, that which is currently ESTABLISHED IN GOVERNMENT or entanglement of government in RELIGION is:
The ESTABLISHED RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT OF CHARITY known as WELFARE and ENTITLEMENTS and the PROPOSED SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, thankfully stifled.
The ESTABLISHED RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT OF EDUCATION known as GOVERNMENT MANAGED AND FUNDED PUBLIC EDUCATION first introduced in 1852 and in TEXAS in 1854.
HOW do you expect you can remedy these two apparently contradictory statements that our founders seem to have held at the same time:
Our American governments were founded upon JUDAEO/CHRISTIAN BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES.
Our AMERICAN government were NOT FOUNDED UPON RELIGION even the CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
When you understand the BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF RELIGION which is NOT BELIEF, then you find that the Bible PRINCIPLE specifically denies government to DO THE RELIGION of the people that they are to do on their own dime (as found in Luke 3 when the PEOPLE seek counsel of John the BAPTIST what TO DO having repented).
Until 1852 hardly any government managed or funded a general public educational system. Governments prospered when the people educated their own children on their own dime or in cooperation with a church or synagogue, or charity, or private society, or an entrepreneurial venture. It was difficult for the people, but governments encouraging the people to train up their children in a faith or philosophical based curriculum would not need draconian police forces or military to constrain the passions of the people.
Caveats or obscure exceptions to the contrary do not equal a general public educational system in history.

Times they are a changing! This is bull, you cannot allow Muslim chirldren 5 times a day to pray and not allow Christian children to say God or Jesus! That’s favoritism. I’m sick of always having to be tolerant, religious things should be left at home and churches or where ever you worshiwhat I see is allowing these children special privileges causes the other children to want to attend, your allowing our children to be coaxed into something that is not their belief! Disgusting
Perhaps she doesn’t feel bad about not believing in Allah, but does about not believing in God or Jesus.
This teacher and all others that support her need to be fired!
Mohammed was a pedaphile
That’s right Americans. Don’t believe anything about us losing our freedom!
If this is happening and I have my doubts about this article because I live in Michigan . The only place in Michigan where this might be happening is Dearborn which is almost all Muslims, as is their city government. Winfield P. Gates Jr. Is right if this is happening in any school in the United States and the parents are sitting back and not banding together to do whatever it takes to put an end to it then it’s on them. If you don’t stop those who are taking anyway your rights and freedoms then it’s on you. Stop these actions or before you know it the rights and freedoms we are blessed with will be gone. Wake up stand up and speak up before it’s to late.
Interesting. The teacher said that the school “wasn’t the appropriate place to be holding a theological debate.” If there was a “debate,” there must have been students expressing an opposing view. The children’s debate is a stepping stone to learning how to have polite converstions with others, even when they do not agree. It is a valuable life skill. It’s too bad that this teacher inserted herself, monitored the discussion, and then made her “opinion” a rule to be followed by one group of children. She turned a learning experience into turmoil.
