It is a hate crime that is being directed towards her by the ignorant fundie parents and their kids. She should get compensation and the parents should be sued!

She AND the class should both be disciplined; she for inappropriate Facebooking and the students for inappropriate classroom behavior. Then all of them need to receive counseling with the goal of learning appropriate ways of expressing concern or disapproval. Underlining it all, the Board (which may also need the counseling, along with the parents) needs to make a clear statement about religious questions being inappropriate for classroom discussion. The students should be directed to their religious advisers.

she should be given a slap on the wrist for the Facebook comment. She should view the experience as an opportunity to bring God into the discussion and show, using the scientific method, that God is not a scientific concept.

The teacher did her job of teaching correctly. What she does on Facebook is her own business and she has the right to express what she wants there. It has nothing to do with her job performance. The kids and/or their parents should be dealt with. This was a science class, not a theology class.

the fact that the school board even -thought- of doing anything for the teacher for simply doing her job, and even taking into account her facebook page at all (if she would have said that to her friends instead of facebook, it wouldn't have mattered -then-) is unsettling. Punish the abusive kids, not the teacher who did everything correctly.

She should be reinstated immediately with an apology. The students suspended and failed for the semester so they will have to repeat the class. The parents sued for any financial burden on the school systems their god-bothering brats might have incurred. The bibles gathered up and properly disposed of with a firm promise from the parents that it won't happen again.

Bring her back and expel the kids. Retards.

Did the teacher hit a student? Did the teacher threaten a student? The answer to both is “no”, so take no action against her. An adult needs to speak to those students about proper behavior in public, and the proper use of a Bible.

NOTHING should happen to her. She made comments that were not derogatory, defamatory, or dangerous on her Facebook page as part of her private life.
