An elementary school near Memphis, Tenn. has reversed its previous decision to reject a 10-year-old’s assignment that describes God as her idol, and has now instead awarded the assignment a 100 percent mark.
The school previously told the young student that she could not choose God as her idol, and was even told she had to remove her assignment from school premises. However, after intense media backlash and involvement from the Liberty Institute, the school has changed its mind and performed a U-turn.
Erica Shead, mother of 10-year-old Erin Shead, complained to the Shelby County School District last month when a teacher at Lucy Elementary School told her daughter she could not write on God for a class assignment that required students to describe their idol. The girl was forced to take her rejected assignment home and pick another idol, with the teacher later accepting Michael Jackson as her replacement.
