QuoteTwo Florida teachers allegedly poured holy water on another teacher because she is an atheist, WPLG-TV in Miami reported.
The station said that Leslie Rainer and Djuna Robinson have been removed from their classrooms. The veteran and self-proclaimed Christian teachers work at Blanche Ely High School.
In April, they were reassigned after another teacher, Schandra Rodriguez, who is an atheist, said they poured holy water on her during an incident at the school on March 11.
"Miss Robinson obtained a little bottle with some perfume in it in jest, and the students will all confirm she never went close to Miss Rodriguez. Miss Rodriguez was on the other side of the classroom and that was basically it," said Johnny L. McCray Jr., Rainer and Robinson's attorney.
The accused teachers said it was a joke. Rodriguez, however, said they did it because she is an atheist.
Rodriguez is still teaching at the school, and some said it's not fair.
"If we are going to ban talking to students about God, then the atheists should also be banned from telling kids there is no God," said the Rev. Kirby Thurston.
The Broward School Board is investigating the allegations. According to McCray, students are also being questioned about what happened.

lol @ word filters
That's what I thought, too, LOL
His argument would only apply given that the Atheist actually pormoted Atheism, which I highly doubt.
Also, who really cares? It sounds like a joke. Rodriguez needs to lighten up.
Also, I'm not quite sure why she says it's not a joke, they did it because she was an atheist. Isn't that the whole point of the joke? It wouldn't really make any sense to dump holy water on a theist?
Meh.
GUYS, WHEN THEY DUMP GATORADE ON COACHES AFTER THEY WIN A BIG IMPORTANT GAME, THEY'RE ACTUALLY ALL CHRISTIANS CLEANSING THE COACH WITH HOLY WATER.
THIS BUCKET DUMPS HOLY WATER ON TOP OF ATHEISTS. NASHVILLE SHORES SHOULD BE SUED. (http://nashvilleshores.com/the-bucket-cms-201) :V
I think people need to stop bitching about stuff like this.
The kids just be defending themselves. She clearly weighs the same as a duck, and she obviously did NOT sink in the water, and is therefore a witch.
Holy water is just water.
