TEACHER BANS Bible-reading in class. I usually assume that these stories are result of miscommunication, but this account differs in quoting what is reportedly a voicemail from the teacher to the student’s father: “‘Good morning, Mr. Rubeo,’ says a woman. ‘Giovanni called you because I asked him to. I noticed that he had a book, a religious book, in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom. He said if I told him to put it away, you said not to do that. So please give me a call. I need to have some understanding on direction to him about the book he’s reading opposed to the curriculum for public school. Ms. S. Thomas. Thank you. Have a wonderful day. Bye, bye.'”
