An elementary school teacher in Utah has been placed on leave after
telling a student to wash off the cross on his forehead on Ash Wednesday.
Moana Patterson, a 4th-grade teacher in Bountiful, a city just north of
Salt Lake City, has been placed on leave amid an investigation into the
incident, a Davis School District spokesman said Thursday.
The boy's grandmother, Karen Fisher, said Patterson told her grandson,
William McLeod, that the cross was inappropriate and forced him to wash it
off in front of his classmates, leaving him crying and embarrassed.
"We are sorry about what happened and apologize to the student and the
family for the teachers actions," the district said in a statement. "The
actions were unacceptable. No student should ever be asked or required to
remove an ash cross from his or her forehead."
The district reached out to the family and then called its educational
equity director, who happens to be an ordained Catholic deacon. He reached
out to the boy's family and reapplied the ash cross to William's forehead,
the statement said.
The teacher also gave the student a handwritten apology, according to the
district. Patterson didnt immediately return an email to the Associated
Press seeking comment about the incident.
Ash Wednesday is considered one of the holiest days of the year for
Christians and marks the beginning of Lent. Some who observe the holiday
attend Ash Wednesday services where a priest applies ashes in the form of
a cross to the parishioner's forehead.
More than two-thirds of Utah residents are Mormon and about 10 percent are
Catholic.
A spokesman for the district said he doesnt know Pattersons religious
affiliation.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
