Teacher: Dear parents, tell your kids to stop talking about God

School is back in session across the fruited plain and students are getting settled in their new classes and adjusting to new teachers.

So it's not all that unusual for moms and dads to receive letters from their child's teacher. But a letter written by a first-grade teacher and sent to parents in McCordsville, Indiana is causing quite a stir.

The teacher urged parents to encourage their children to stop using religious words in the classroom.

“I have had a group of about five students using the words God, Jesus and Devil in conversation,” the teacher wrote.

“If you go to church or discuss these things at home, please have a talk with your child about there being an appropriate time and place of talking about it,” she added.

Again, - Homeschool.

It was bad enough when my kids were in school, 30 years ago. I spent a lot of time in school and with the school board. I spent a lot of time volunteering in school as well. People should know what is going on there.

I'm sure there are still some good teachers and some not so bad public schools, but I don't know if I could put a small child in today's public schools.
