According to lawsuit 7-year-old banished by teacher for not believing in God

The mother of a 7-year-old, second grader at Forest Park Elementary School in Fort Wayne Indiana, has filed a lawsuit against the teacher who allegedly sat her son down, quizzed him about his belief in God and then made him sit alone at lunch for three straight days as some crazy kind of punishment. The lawsuit says that this was a violation of the child's First Amendment rights and that there has been "no meaningful attempt" to remedy the injuries the child experienced as a result of this horrendous bit of infuriating idiocy.

9. On or about February 23, 2015, A.B. and his classmates were on the playground during
the school day immediately before lunch when A.B. was asked by one of his classmates if he attended church.

10. A.B. responded by stating that he did not go to church and did not believe in God. He also stated that it was fine with him if his inquiring classmate believed in God.

11. The classmate said that A.B. had hurt her feelings by saying that he did not believe in God and started to cry.

12. A playground supervisor reported to Ms. Meyer what had happened.

13. At that point the students were going to lunch and Ms. Meyer asked A.B. if he had told
the girl that he did not believe in God and A.B. said he had and asked what he had done wrong.

14. Ms. Meyer asked A.B. if he went to church, whether his family went to church, and whether his mother knew how he felt about God.

3. Not surprising. . . .

This kind of shit used to be routine when I was in school in the early 1970's. Thankfully there is a remedy now, and I'm not somebody who is "lawsuit crazy", but this one seems to have plenty of merit!

4. Revoke any federal funding that school receives.

That will get some attention quickly.
