That's is sad, if I were one of the students i'd try to make friends with her, im a Christian, yes I believe in Jesus but I don't get beside myself when someone says they're an atheist. I believe public schools should be secular and no religion should be shoved down kids throats. Schools should be neutral in that area, it's up to the parents to teach their beliefs to their children and when they become adults they'll make that decision because if it's a willing and conscience choice then that would be real faith.
