A very brave 7th-grade student decided to fight for her religious freedom last night as she stood before her Texas school board
in Katy, Texas and explained to them how her teacher gave them an assignment to answer whether God is a fact, opinion or a myth.
This 7th-grader, Jordan Wooley, said the teacher told them that any answer other than ‘God is a myth’ was wrong and they would get
a failing grade if they answered otherwise. The video is just over 5 minutes in length and it seems quite telling that the head of the
Katy ISD school board, cut off the girls' reply to a question from another board member, who wished to know "which school do you attend?"
In answer to that question, (since Ms. Wooley was not allowed to state it) she attends West Memorial Junior High School and the teacher(?),
is a 7th grade reading teacher there. The Katy ISD claims that the teacher(?) is distraught over the incident and says it's crucial not
to vilify the teacher(?) without knowing her and her Christian faith. The school is now apologizing (no word yet from the teacher(?) ),
and the principal at this school determined the assignment wasn't something that was necessary for students. The school district
continued in damage control mode by asserting in part, that the assignment was intended to encourage critical thinking and dialogue
and not question any students' religious beliefs. "Still this does not excuse the fact that this ungraded activity was ill-conceived
and because of that, its intent had been misconstrued." Wooley however, says the assignment was in fact graded, so she says
she would've had to have contradicted her faith to pass.

My question to both the school board members and the teacher(?) is: What 'Christian' would put a student into
this kind of situation so as to "deny their faith"? Only the prince of darkness and his minions, who do his bidding .
Matthew 10:33 - “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
Luke 12:9 - but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
