Eighth-grade public school science teacher refuses to remove Bible from his desk ... faces termination
I suggest there’s a major problem with this mom’s definition of Christianity, concept of discipleship, and what it means to be a witness.

“Church and State” IMO is a widely abused umbrella these days, tho. It’s original intent in the Constitution was to prevent another “national church inserts itself into national politics and makes an absolute mess of things” (cf. “Church of England”). How that ended up meaning that no publicly-funded organization could have any whiff of religion about it is beyond me, and it’s unfortunate that it ended up that way. But I applaud the efforts of folks who work around those restrictions and offer off-site Bible clubs, or who simply let their lights shine and who are good Christian models (like this teacher - staying after school, helping students, and taking a genuine interest in their lives).
(The whole business of state-operated education is such a can of worms!)

[Susan R] just plain stupid.
That about sums it up.
