~ Pharmer

Assistant teacher says she was fired for Christian faith – NYPOST.com.

Anita Wooten-Francis, an asssistant teacher of special ed instructer at the Canarsie school in Brooklyn, has filed suit against the city, the DOE, and principal George Andrews for religious discrimination and unspecified damages stemming from her termination.

Wooten-Francis cites a plethora of improprieties occurring at the school, many involving the behavior of the principal torwards her personally, and directly related to her personal religious practices. For 16 years prior to 2004, she experienced no difficulty at the school regarding her teaching or religious practice.

The 52 year old instructor  states that she never influenced the children with her religion, and that the charges leading to her firing are false.

She is accused of grabbing a student at the school, which is said to be implausible due to the nerve damage in her hands and feet.   She is described by a fellow teacher  (who fears reprisal)  as dedicated to the kids,  a “fantastic lady” who “wouldn’t hurt a fly”.

From the NY Post:

“I’m a Christian,” Wooten-Francis said. “I believe Jesus Christ is my lord and savior . . . I know that I’m trusting God, and the truth will come out.”

Christian woman sentenced to death in Pakistan ‘for blasphemy’ – Telegraph.

Travel carefully.  Other places do not have religious freedom.    You might be imprisoned or hung for saying the wrong thing.

Asia Bibi, a 45 year old mother of five is sentenced to hang for defaming Muhammed, although there is no evidence that she actually did or said such a thing.

Great Britain is another place of extreme political correctness, although at this time you might only be imprisoned for “hate speech” if you speak  opposition to Islam or to gay practice.
