Only In Barack Obama"s Godless America: 10-Year-Old Student Told Not To Write About God As Her Idol

Thanks to Barack Obama's Godless, social agenda, the tenets of traditional values and morals that define Christianity (and which this country was found on) are being replaced by a decadent lifestyle that breeds debauchery and moral bankruptcy. Any wonder why a 10-year-old student isn't allowed to choose God as her "idol"? Any wonder why homeschooling and charter schools are becoming more and more popular with parents fed up with the Godless, liberal indoctrination found in today's public schools?

She said her daughter was told to start over and pick another idol.

“But my teacher said I couldn’t write about God. She said It has something to do with God and God can’t be my idol,” said Shead about what her daughter told her.

Erin told her mother she was also not allowed to leave the assignment about God at school, that it must go home.

On the second try, Erin chose Michael Jackson, which was acceptable.

“How can you tell this baby, that’s a Christian, what she can say and what she can’t say?”

Shead took her concerns to the school principal at Lucy Elementary Wednesday morning.

“Can you show me this in a policy where this child cannot talk about God on paper,” asked Shead.

We reached out to Shelby County Schools Wednesday.

Spokesman Christian Ross said teachers can’t promote religion, but there is not a policy preventing students from writing assignments about any God or religion.

School officials wouldn’t say what would be done to correct the situation, since it appears the teacher was in the wrong.

Ross said they wouldn’t comment out of respect for the student’s privacy.

Shead said she is waiting to hear from the principal, “I told the principal this morning, would it be better if she wrote about Ellen Degeneres? Of course there was no comment.”

UPDATED RESPONSE FROM SHELBY COUNTY SCHOOLS ON 9/12:
“Shelby County Schools respects the moral and religious beliefs of all students and families. While teachers and staff are not permitted to promote religion in the classroom, no laws or district policies allow teachers to limit students’ expression of religious beliefs in their personal classwork. This was a regrettable misunderstanding, and we as educators must learn from it. The principal and teacher have had a positive and productive conversation with the family, and we are pleased this matter is being addressed at the school level. The district will not be discussing this matter further in the media.”
