Do you remember when there was a teacher in California who was fired from her job because the school couldn't, quote, "accommodate her religious beliefs?" So, what exactly was she doing? Was she out there openly proselytizing kids on the playground or something like that? No. She took the very bold stand of saying, as a gym teacher, that she wouldn't allow boys to come in and use the showers when the girls were in there.
