Not a chance I would have go r to summer detention for that especially since you reported it.

The first one is confusing lol

Haha this is just funny

LMAO my teacher would shed tears of joy if she saw someone reading a quality novel

Convents and Monasteries are full of hypocritical bots.....

Sounds too bureaucratic

In your dreams, ineffective school system.

Are you confusing reality with the show "Danny phantom" again?

Pervert...

I would have done the same thing :)

I laughed to much at this

YARR MATEY MAKE YE TEACHA WALK TH"E PLANK

I would have given you 200% extra credit.

This is some hulk smash stuff right there....

Good enough...I would do the same over and over again voluntarily...

Why would parents send an atheist kid to a school that required morning prayer?

I never said the Pledge of Allegiance as a kid.

I mean, I think making it like an exclusion/punishment, is not okay, but it's good that nobody is forced to participate.

I'm guessing they achieved what they intended. The entire class turned against you.

Beats the sh*t of having to go to Mass every morning @ 10:00am.

i had a teacher who made us say the lords prayer every morning, i asked if i could respectfully sit quietly and not take part, as i thought it would be unfair for me as an atheist to say it, but also to disrespect their god by saying it and not meaning it. she yelled at me, so i'd sit every day with my head bowed and mouth the words

Discrimination at it's finest !!!

Im sorry. I'm a Christian and I've been a teacher. The way I would have handled this would be to ask the child or better, the parents, what the feelings are concerning this. No one should be forced.

altho i am atheist to i would like to say that it is wrong to punish kids in grade 3 who have not yet the capabillity of choosing their (non) religion by choice but most likely follow examples from parents and guardians etc.

Well, you could have chalked a pentagram on the floor just for fun...

"Judge not lest ye be judged", huh?

In 2019? What school was this?

Bastards!!

Won't end well for you...

...becasue as an aethiest you would want to stay for morning prayer?

That'll lead to standing outside the Supreme Court while they find in your favor

...and this was supposed to be a punishment?

That sounds like a reward, if you ask me.

That was to stop you being poisoned.

I love the Pledge of Allegiance, but I think the "one nation under God part should be removed" as I don't think kids with non-Christian beliefs should be forced to say something that conflicts with their religion or choice of not having a religion. I never even say it anymore because I'm Atheist and never bought anything in the Bible. Meanwhile, my sister: sCiEnTiStS cOuLd bE WrOnG i onLy bEliEvE tHe wAteR cYcLe sCiEnCe cUz I dOn'T BeLiEvE iN sCiEnCe i BeLiEvE iN gOd. Can't wait for when she's older and understands that you can believe in science and "God" at the same time.

Thank Heaven.

I would have been thrilled for that punishment

That's a little better than the paddling I used to get when I was a kid. I quickly learned to lie about it, which is of course what Jeesus wants, lying hypocritical people pretending to worship him because his power is so weak and his ego is so fragile

.... fück religion...

In our country we didn't have church/state separation till 1994. All schools were religious. However, because our govt is mostly staffed by religious people AND because it's a paper tiger, most schools STILL impose a "religious ethos" on kids. It's almost impossible here to find a school that DOESNT make kids do christian prayers etc. We even have NGOs that spend their time chasing schools about it, but they keep ignoring it.

Oh my, I remember this happening at my primary school...it was state but we had an Evangelical headmistress. My friend Claire and one or two others had to sit outside the assembly hall because they were JW. Why they couldn't go to the library or something, I'll never know.
