I don’t really see it as observing a rule but being respectful. Just as a religious person should be respectful to a atheist. I see where you feel that the teacher correcting is making the kid follow a rule but if the kid was a true atheist why are you saying “oh my god”. If the teacher was enforcing a commandment then she is in the wrong

I didn’t plan on a long argument with someone online today but I’m always curious about people’s feelings, beliefs, and ideas. The OP never mentioned the teachers religious beliefs being pushed onto their kid. Why do you feel this was disrespectful to someone that doesn’t believe in god? I’m not atheist or religious so I may be missing something.

Not what I’m saying at all. It’s about respecting people that are different from you whether it be religious, racial, how they identify, etc. if the teacher is scolding the child I think that is extreme. It should be a teaching moment. I never said they should follow their religious beliefs.

It’s not about following someone’s beliefs it’s about being respectful of other peoples beliefs. Not just religion. It’s a respect thing and the teacher may want to stop it in behalf of the other kids. Don’t believe in the op post it said it was the teachers religious beliefs. In my family we would say “Jesus Christ!” but never in public or around my grandmother.

Kid is making a innocent mistake and the teacher has the right to try to stop it. I would contact the teacher and have a talk with them. How can you both help the child not say it but also not to the point where the kid is feeling stressed out over a small mistake. Good lesson to learn but don’t have to make it really stressful for the kid.

MFA is open but they don’t release tickets till they get closer. They don’t limit visitors so you will always be able to get tickets. Believe two special exhibitions open up in March
