Yes, that is difficult. Students actually have a lot of rights when it comes to religious freedom. The teacher is wrong to say the students cannot talk about God – that is “prohibiting the free exercise of religion” and public school teachers aren’t allowed to do that.

I am a teacher. I help a refugee family that came from Africa, from the poorest of poor schools. They study Christianity in her school back home. Recently she has been shocked of how the teacher tells her to not talk about God, leads talks about leaving “under God” out of the pledge (everyone in class supported the leaving it out, except the girl). They are allowed and even sort of encouraged to listen to inappropriate music. She is confused and I am furious! What are our rights on such a matter. What is an appropriate way to address this?

I think there is a real need for clarity on this issue. I have been especially concerned for the past several years about how students rights are being trampled. You have a direct and focused writing style and I know that you are a great blessing to many teachers and students! Thank you for all the time you spend on this website!
