X-Act
np: Biffy Clyro - Shock Shock
Maths teacher Olive Jones was let go from her job teaching children who were too ill to go to school after visiting the home of a pupil for a lesson and discussing her faith with the girl's mother.
The girl was too poorly for the lesson so instead Mrs Jones, 54, spoke about her belief in miracles and asked whether she could say a prayer, but says when the mother said they were not believers she did not go ahead.
A complaint was then made by the mother that Mrs Jones' comments had distressed her and her child.
As a supply teacher who did not have a formal contract, Mrs Jones was told her services were no longer required just hours after the visit on November 25.

This is ridiculous. So I can't discuss what I believe in with anyone without being dismissed now? She also had the courtesy to refrain from praying when she found out that the family were non-believers. And she receives a dismissal from her job in return. :|
