Dad: Teacher Told My Kid to Stop Lunchtime Prayer | Todd Starnes

I have been taking a bit of a wait and see attitude with this Todd Starnes diatribe just for the simple fact that daddy dearest went the YouTube route BEFORE contacting school official. I am also having a hard time keeping up with all the antics of Reich and when this story first broke, I honestly didn't think much would come of it. Boy was I wrong!

The basic according to Starnes:

A Florida school district is giving teachers a refresher course on religious liberty after the parents of a five-year-old kindergarten student said a teacher told their daughter that she was not allowed to pray before eating her lunch time meal.

Marcos Perez, of Oviedo, Fla., said the incident occurred earlier this month in the lunch room at Carillon Elementary School.

He said his daughter was sitting at a table about to eat when she bowed her head and began to pray.

“A teacher saw her and told her, ‘you’re not allowed to do that,’” he said.

Perez said his little girl replied, “But it’s good to pray.” The teacher alleged replied, “It’s not good.”

He said his daughter tried to pray once more but was admonished by the teacher. The child was not formally punished, he said.

What is compelling about this story is not so much that Perez is vice president of sales at Charisma House (the company that is promoting Starnes' new book), but that Liberty Institute and family have now rejected the school's apology and are threatening legal action. Publicity or money?

That aside, Wonkette has once again pulled everything together concerning the initial incident and the recent aftermath.

My question remains, does anyone believe that in this day-and-age, with all the faux outrage generated by the likes of Starnes, that an educator or administration would be so naive and lax in their handling of said situation?
