CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The mother of a Tennessee middle-schooler claims a class on the Bible as literature included Christian proselytizing and comments offensive to Jews and other non-Christians, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported.
“This name is traditionally not spoken out loud, and is traditionally only written in the Torah,” Russo wrote. “My daughter felt extremely uncomfortable hearing a teacher instruct her peers on ‘how to torture a Jew’ and told me when she came home from school that she didn’t feel safe in the class.” Russo said that in addition to the antisemitic comments, the teacher taught the Genesis creation story as a factual story of how the universe was formed. The teacher also told the class a story about an atheist student who supposedly “took the class to ‘prove it wrong’ and later ended up ‘realizing it was true,’” Russo wrote.
