This statement is odd for the debate at hand......yes you are being ridiculous.
You are really showing your fear of people who question others, not sure why you cling to Obama, like those who cling to the Bible, I guess.
The second item on the paper was the statement "There is a God." "I told her it was a fact, indeed true, based on my religion, and she said that I was incorrect. I was wrong," Jordan told FOX 26.
You can spilt hairs, the question is wrong to begin with. Anyone with faith is going to say it is a fact, anyone with out faith would have an opinion or common assertion. Not sure how this question would even merit a true answer, let alone a grade. For the teacher to know this is an argument every week seems she would have addressed the school asking them to remove it. The teacher claims to be Christian yet jumped at the chance to correct the Christian girl.
I would love for the teacher to address Muslims in the same way.......seems Allah should have been there also, yet too many of you are more afraid of Allah than God. I bet you will be right there saying it is incorrect to corner a Muslim child in this way.
You have no FACTUAL evidence God exists. No email. No phone. No one has ever SEEN him.
Wouldn't this qualify as teaching religion in class, which violates separation of church and state? I think it's okay to teach ABOUT religions in school (assuming there is at least more than one, so the kids are getting a sample of different things), but the teacher should never, ever tell the students what his/her personal belief is on a religious subject.
This teacher should receive some kind of censure from her district.

But that is not what happened.
A statement with the word God in it is not teaching religion. I really beginning to wonder what type church some of you go to or what kind of school you went to that by just using the word in an example is teaching religion.
The teacher was judged, found guilty and crucified by the media before she was even confronted with the girls accusations. Perhaps she should have used a different example of commonplace assertion for the exercise but this hardly merits the witch hunt that ensued.

Wrong. Blame the district for supplying the teacher with that hand out. Their curriculum is not decided individually.
Yeah- in reality there is No God. But people need to believe in something so...
So are you gonna actually contribute to the discussion at hand or keep it up with atheist rhetoric and your obviously anti-religious agenda? Just wondering.

Read the article. The teacher made up her own assignment. Probably not the best choice of example but I do think it really got blown out of proportion.
