8. They don't know what they believe at that age.
I have students who ask me if the Easter Bunny is real! A lot of kids just repeat things they hear at church school and don't realize what they are saying. I always squelch it when they start talking about the devil and such rot. I tell them that school is not the place to discuss that!

Sorry your daughter was subjected to such ignorant thinking. Not sure what you think her teacher could do, unless she actually hears the other children being nasty to her. The teacher can't talk about the religious aspects in a public school. And if she tells the kids they can't talk about it, she will have "hell" to pay when parents start complaining.... and they will!
