Florida's wet season pt. II: The full story begins to emerge?

Turns out that the two teachers involved were more likely stood down for off-colour comments about Haiti than sprinkling around some holy perfume.

Rainer and Robinson, who profess that they are Christians, were initially accused of sprinkling holy water onto fellow teacher Schandra Tompkinsel Rodriguez, an avowed atheist. School officials backed away from that allegation last week.

The allegations stemmed from a March 11 incident in which Rodriguez was in her classroom with students, discussing the fact that she does not believe in God or the Bible, according to confidential sources and McCray
Too late for the truth though, the public will remember this as the Holy Water case where Christianity was the real victim.

Florida's Wet Season

http://www.sfltimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4489&Itemid=144

Here's a case worth keeping your eye on. When I first saw this reported in South Florida Times here I saw it as a stoush between a few people who just didn't like each other. Hard to know really what the true story is behind the incident.

The gist of it is that a couple of teachers sprinkled holy water over an atheist co-worker.

But the rhetoric is ramping up. Looks promising:
“We need to know why one teacher is allowed to teach our children there is no God and nothing is done,” said the Rev. Willie J. Rainer, husband of one of the accused teachers and  an associate pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church in Pompano Beach. “But the Christian teachers have been removed from the classroom even though nothing has been proven.”
An example of oppressed Christians in a Southern State?
"It is totally unfair to remove the two teachers, and allow the other teacher to remain."
Yeah, totally unfair to stand down the two accused of assault, while the victim walks free.
