If this is not his first warning, he should have obeyed or atleast found another school.
Imagine the chaos and confusion if everyone took their religion to school.
I doubt most of you people here will want your child/ward to sit beside a boy who comes to school with Juju if his parents are Pagans.
sharap dude i sat with athiest,muslims and traditionalist while in Sec school...why should they stand against his beliefs,Although he has been issued a warning which was right by the school policy but why allow other students to read novel and comics.if there was a ban against all reading materials that would have been alot better...i now they are claiming to avoid Religious fanatics but most of the shootings that happens at their high schools is what they learnt thru movies,games and novels..nobody wants to be like elijah,moses,enoch,abraham,peter etc but everyone is imitating thor,superman,Tony montana,Commando,Terminator,Punisher etc

Disobeying school rules is not setting a good example. He can read his bible at home.

There is a difference between following Jesus and deliberately trying to stir up trouble in the name of religion.

Rules are rules.

rubbish.!! There are thousands of minority religions that are being discriminated on And Worse things done to their Followers. Yet none of you stand for equality cos you have been indoctrinate by religion that other religions are not the way ,truth and life . The Moment your sect accused u Start to rant like its only you against the world and everyone hates you... Am not happy with the punishment On the boy.. But I think this has to Implemented in african schools. I saw a 5 year old. Muslim boy sing “father abraham Has many sons” and the father was just looking @him. Now he has Enrolled His kids For Saturday And Sunday Arabic Classes. Its not like the primary school they are Attending is a Missionary school. its just a private school. Its indoctrinating our children. Like it has indoctrinated alot Of the citizenry. If you are in a biology class and you are reading economics book , is it right to u?. Will the teacher shove it off all in the name of reading? You have your homes, family, friday, sunday, mosque and church to to help further your child's religious studies and missionary schools where you can have a field trip with your religious escapades. there is a difference between the church and government. Mixing up the two is like Using fuel to quench Fire. Although there are a thing Or two to learn from Each Other. We are building a weak, racist ,triblastic and mind degrading educational system if we don't address all this. the effects are already visible in the sector
reading econs in biology class,we knw dats wrong oo, bt is dat enof reason 2 suspend him

nnamdibig: PLAINVIEW, TX – A 13-year-old boy was suspended from school after he was caught reading the Bible during recess. Plainview Middle School says Joshua Patterson violated school policy by reading the Bible in school.
School officials say the student was warned several times that he could not practice religion during school hours, but refused to comply. A letter was sent home to the child’s parents warning them that Joshua could be suspended or even expelled if he continued this behavior.
Patterson’s parents, who are devout Christians, told their son to continue reading his Bible because it was his Constitutional right. Megan and Daniel Patterson say they intend to file a lawsuit against Plainview Middle School.

“We are going to fight this with all of our might,” said the child’s father Daniel Patterson. “How can a school tell a student that something as simple as reading his Bible is wrong? We teach our children about the miraculous wonders of God, and Joshua has taken a special interest in religion. His dream is to one day be a preacher. This school has violated the rights of our child, and we will ensure this never happens to another student.”
The school refused to elaborate on why they chose to suspend Joshua, other than saying his actions were directly against school policy.

Dumb asses, was he preaching? He was quietly reading his Bible and the f00ls suspended him.

But if he was reading a book on Withcraft on "How to Cast Spells and Invoke Demons", no one would have complained...smh

But you know if this had been about a boy suspended for being gay, everyone would be screaming homophobia. You can openly exhibit your sexual orientation, but you must keep your religion in the closet. Where is the freedom and equality?
Re: Boy Suspended From School For Reading Bible During Recess by Nobody: 8:57am On Jul 31, 2014
I believe the rules were made before this boy got into the school. Why is noise being made concerning this issue? If the parents & the boy didn't want any hindrance in the path of their religion, they should have chosen another school where he would be free to even hold a vigil if he wants to.

Religion is not about what you read but how you behave. There are many who read the Quran and bible but behave like Satan.

The school had rules and God wants us to be good examples even when it comes to obeying secular authority.

Its interesting that later they will be surprised and wonder why the students are shooting each other in school. Surfing the internet & watching pornography is probably not banned in that school. Did he read the bible to anybody else? When we force children to turn away from God, we force them to turn to the devil!


The virulence of religion's toxicity is more detrimental to the mind than the social ills attributable to juvenile Indecency and drugs indulgence.
While those ruin few, religions psychosis ruin nations. As evidences by what is happening in our country today, and many other
nations. Not everybody have the same definition of the supreme. But everyone thinks theirs is the right way.So is wise to make
matter of divinity a private matter to avoid clashes. Because matters of faith dwells in the primitive instinct of emotion.

They can't make unreasonable demands and expect people to abide by them, just because they feel uncomfortable with it. Their act is senseless and very wrong. Haba, how can an individual be deprived from going to school for such flimpsy excuse? Not that he took a gun to school.

When I was in school, they said I couldn't keep my Afro hair..I was stubborn and got suspended.

If that could happen to me, the boy should face the punishment
not that I took a gun to school either undecided

U.S schools have rules.

Rules are placed there for a reason.

To serve as a guide to everyone.


The boy is probably a Christian and even the bible says obey the law:

1 Peter 2:13-17 ESV Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.


Titus 3:1 ESV
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,




The boy should be expelled and never be allowed into any public school in the United States again. angry

His parents can home school the twerp.

it is absolutely not. This is well spelt out by the school. And for flouting the schools law he should equally be punished. Religion has caused more conflict than any other thing in this world. That is one example of a school that I think other should follow.

My issue is not with the boy's actions, but with the ridiculous rule. Do you think any establishment in the US can get away with a rule that bars homosexuals or promotion of homosexuality in any form on it's premises without being condemned for being homophobic?

Anyway, I'm done with this thread as it seems the news is fake.
