1. The religious fanatics are taking over.

Our justice system is doing nothing to stop them.

They won't stop until the U.S. is a Theocracy ruled by Theocratic corporations

Separation of Church and State is being ignored.

[valerief]

2. These are the fruits of religion. Ah, Oklahoma's own Sharia Law. nt

[riversedge]

3. my gawd!!

[liberal N proud]

4. That teacher and any teacher who forces a child to become what they are not should not be in school

The psychological damage that shit does in life long.

5. Let me check.....Yes, yes, it is 2015.

'Murica. Fuck Yeah!

6. WTF?!? This is really screwed up. But I shouldn't be surprised I think there is something in the

water in my state at times. So many people here are backwards. Pretty much my entire family is Republican. When my grandmother died a few years ago I became the lone Democrat in my family.

7. It's ok, we'll soon be told how religion isn't to blame for this

the faithapologists just need time to do some google-fu and come up with some obscure secular group which hates lefties then pretend the teacher is one of those and just faking the devil-speak to confuse the issue.

Rest assured, despite what religious people claim and demonstrate as their motivation, nothing bad is ever really religiously motivated. Now charity on the other hand is always religiously motivated even, if like at least 3 of the world's top 5 philanthropists, the givers claim to be nonbelievers. That's religiously motivated by family influence or cultural osmosis. But bad stuff? Never.

8. personally i am disturbed they are teaching a 4yo to read and write.

what the hell happened to childhood in this country?
but yeah, those evil scientists told us a long time ago that this was hard on the brain. i am shocked they dont know this.

11. ??? My grandchildren were all learning to read and write in

preschool. The oldest learned to read by 3. Is your post sarcasm?

[mopinko]

14. no.

a lot of kids do learn it. but pounding into 4 yo's who might not be ready is a dumb idea.
just read to them. they really teach themselves when they are ready, and grown ups take the credit.
kids this small should be outside playing. this "accelerated" "education" crap is leading to some very neurotic kids.

15. okay on that I agree with you. And in most preschools it is

letters and words they are learning. My daughter was so far ahead in her math class in 5th grade that the school sent her down to help teach the kindergarten class reading - she used what she learned there to teach the 3 year old to read.

9. Someone forgot to tell this teacher that the Devil most often

appears in the guise of a Christian. In traditional theology that was the way it was seen.

10. This teacher ought to seriously consider getting mental health treatment nt

12. Grew up in Oklahoma as a lefty and the public schools were much different

It's sad what my former state has become and what public education has become. I'm still a proud lefty in more ways than one!

13. Witch Trials

Can a modern version of the Salem witch trials be far behind?

[radicalliberal]

16. Why do I get the feeling this country is going back to the 19th century?

Frankly, I'm discouraged.

By the way, both of my daughters are left-handed. They excelled academically throughout their education, and they also are better human beings than I was at their ages.

17. What a great mother! That's a lucky kid!

Let's hear it for that Mom!



Her kid may or may not remember her defending him in this instance but she has nevertheless saved him from what could be very serious and even life-long psychological damage that has been suffered by other lefties at the hands of ignorant parents, care-givers or teachers.

As for a public school teacher in 2015 apparently holding the view that the left hand is evil...
