Plenty of things in your life are your problem when they're not your fault. Thus is no different.

>If a teacher sees a child as an enemy for having a different religion, or non religious, upbringing that should be on them to get over it.

Very cool. Unfortunately, idealism doesn't work

No amount of "should" unruins your life.

Charlie Hebdo thought so too. How'd that go? If you're willing to die for it, go for it. But don't torture your kids over it.

The parallel being that no amount of "should" protects you from reality. People do people things. What she'll do is tell the next grade that the kid is a serious discipline issue, resulting in them being watched more, getting caught more, and being punished more.

>you are comparing a teacher for young children to Islamic extremism, albeit I won't argue that we don't have Christian extremists here ; I don't actually think this is a case of that.

It's entirely possible that's not the issue. There's a few other anti-religious or anti-offense sentiments that could be driving the issue.

>the hill I'm willing to die on is that atheists and their children who don't want to participate in religion & its rules should be safe to do so freely, and the teacher is welcome to a litany of churches to practice their faith in the free & appropriate space as well.

Are you willing to damn your kids too? Good. Damn your own. And stay out of other people's lives.
