Texas 7th Grader Says Teacher Forced Students to Deny Existence of God

A Katy seventh grader has some strong accusations.
She says her teacher asked the class to deny God exists.
Jordan Wooley says it all happened during a class assignment and now the school is apologizing.
Katy ISD says the teacher that came up with the assignment is distraught, and on Tuesday the principal determined the assignment wasn't something that was necessary for students. But it's still not sitting well for Wooley.
Wooley originally answered the question 'there is no God' in two ways.
"I said it was fact or opinion," said Wooley, adding she answered that way because "based on my religion and based on what I think and believe, I do not think it was a common place assertion."
Wooley says her seventh grade reading teacher at West Memorial Junior High School said both her answers were wrong and that she had to admit God wasn't real.

If you read the whole article, it was actually a decent critical thinking exercise but surely the teacher knew she was playing with fire. She also should have never let the conversation go that far with 7th graders.

It was a dumb, ill-advised lesson on the difference between fact & opinion.
So much hyperbole!

and my 9th grade Biology teacher skipped the chapter on evolution because he said it was wrong and we were all created by God

if this true, then the teacher needs to be reprimanded. Or better fired.
Its like when my texas hs teacher (12th grade) told everyone to go to her church. She gave Bs/Cs to those she thought weren't christian enough, including myself. She told me I was going to hell. That shite is disturbing to young minds.
The only B I made in English in my entire academic career (elementary, Jr High, HS, college) was in her class.

ftr, most agnostics are actually atheists (too)
Answer this question, do you believe in god? if you answer anything other than yes, then you are in fact an atheist.
You may also be agnostic depending on your answer.

And I was under the assumption that God talk was completely off limits in schools.

I wanted to call the ACLU but my parents nixed it. They said it would be more trouble than it was worth. I as an obnoxious 16 yo disagreed.
She also told us AC/DC was a plot to get us to become gay. It was right after thunderstruck came out.

I did read the whole article. I just posted the story without adding any slant one way or the other. I figured people could read the article and make their own decisions about what happened.

My teacher at Live Oak did the same thing, and was eventually run out of town when rumors of uh improprieties arose.
