[release]POMPANO BEACH, Fla -- Two Florida teachers allegedly poured holy water on another teacher because she is an atheist, WPLG-TV in Miami reported. The station said that Leslie Rainer and Djuna Robinson have been removed from their classrooms. The veteran and self-proclaimed Christian teachers work at Blanche Ely High School. In April, they were reassigned after another teacher, Schandra Rodriguez, who is an atheist, said they poured holy water on her during an incident at the school on March 11. "Miss Robinson obtained a little bottle with some perfume in it in jest, and the students will all confirm she never went close to Miss Rodriguez. Miss Rodriguez was on the other side of the classroom and that was basically it," said Johnny L. McCray Jr., Rainer and Robinson's attorney. The accused teachers said it was a joke. Rodriguez, however, said they did it because she is an atheist. Rodriguez is still teaching at the school, and some said it's not fair. "If we are going to ban talking to students about God, then the atheists should also be banned from telling kids there is no God," said the Rev. Kirby Thurston. The Broward School Board is investigating the allegations. According to McCray, students are also being questioned about what happened.[/release] [url=http://www.clickorlando.com/news/23669301/detail.html]Source[/url] Intolerant fucking assholes.

I can easily see this as an innocent joke.

I don't really see a huge problem with this, I would laugh. Unless they got it on my best clothes. Then all bets are off.
Militant Atheist rage incoming. Prepare for thousands of teenagers advocating genocide.
that article is giving me a hard time on which side to trust. on the one hand, if the atheist teacher is right, then those two christian teachers were ignorant bitches. on the other hand, if the teachers were just pretending to have holy water in jest and didn't go near the atheist as claimed, then the atheist is just a butthurt bitch.
[QUOTE]If we are going to ban talking to students about God, then the atheists should also be banned from telling kids there is no God[/quote] Uh, is there any evidence that the teacher in question was telling students that God doesn't exist? Because it isn't in the article.

Crazed paranoia from the biggest religion on Earth. Who would've expected?
so basically they dumped glorified h2o on her that's like dumping gatorade on the coach at a football game
Did she die?

EDIT: 23 people think it's not hypocritical to teach that there is no god. What happened to the intelligent atheists.
Nice. A free bath.
Oh Shit! Atheistic Liberal rage incoming! Oh Snap! Ignorant Christian Rage also incoming! Brace for impact! But really? They're investigating a little bit of water? Lets you know where your taxpayer dollars are going.

Oh god they dropped perfumed water on me! I must report them for obviously being intolerant fucks.

i'd be fucking pissed off if people dropped water all over me get me clothes all wet and give me a cold and shit break my iphone no fuck that
[QUOTE=Mexican;22174515]Ironically the teacher thinks it's special water because it's holy water, even though according to her beliefs it's regular water.[/QUOTE] I hope you realize there is actual stuff called "Holy Water". Your logic makes it sound like atheists don't believe that the bible exists.

[QUOTE=Mexican;22174543]okay but what I'm saying is that guy said you shouldn't say "there is no god" either. You just shouldn't mention god at all.[/QUOTE] Precisely.
Even if god doesn't exist he has tremendous influence. Removing religion from the classroom completely just isn't going to happen in our lifetimes.

[QUOTE=johnlukeg;22174539]I hope you realize there is actual stuff called "Holy Water". Your logic makes it sound like atheists don't believe that the bible exists.[/QUOTE] just cause some part time magician touches water doesn't mean it's changed at all. basically she's looking for some kind of harassing intent here that I don't think exists. I doubt very devout Christians would dump holy water on someone because for one thing they'd have to go through the trouble of getting it, and aside from that dumping holy water on someone probably isn't the church's idea of good usage. More likely they just threw some Aquafina and said "that is holy water"
[QUOTE=Kyle902;22174584]Even if god doesn't exist he has tremendous influence. Removing religion from the classroom completely just isn't going to happen in our lifetimes.[/QUOTE] Actually God isn't in many public schools. At least ones I went to.
