A teen at a high school in California was suspended for bringing a deadly weapon to school. The weapon? His faith.
In all honesty though, no one actually called his faith a deadly weapon. They just said sharing his faith was a violation of separation of church and state.
After reportedly being told not to discuss his faith in school, he returned one day with his Bible; he was suspended. It's unfortunate to see this type of thing happen -- especially for a kid this age. With all the challenges facing teens, you'd think most adults would be happy seeing a kid do something like share a faith that believes in self discipline, respect for others, compassion and forgiveness.
What's interesting to note here is that the school received no formal complaints on the student sharing his faith. What's even more interesting is the possible lack of effort on administrators to have his parents intervene. Someone should really question whether or not anyone stepped up and called the parents to see if something in lieu of suspension could take place. It would have made a lot more sense.
Was the school's decision to suspend in the best interests of the overall student body, or was the suspension a biased attempt to silence a Believer? You tell me.
