- Student Forced to Take Part in Pagan Ritual During Class: ‘Direct Conflict With Our Biblical Faith’
- “On the week of February 13th, 2023, our eleven-year-old son was instructed by his fifth-grade teacher during Social Studies class to make a kachina doll,” Amie Mutti told the Lexington School Board. “This is no ordinary doll. These dolls were used by Native Americans as sacred idols.”
- A handout given to the student explains that the dolls are a likeness of Hopi spirits and “were used to teach children about different spirits.”
- “In other words, the children were told by the teacher to make a kachina doll, give their doll a name, and to write about what special powers their doll had,” Mutti said. “To go further, the lesson plan states, ‘These dolls were used in ceremonies to teach children about the beliefs of the tribe and the gods.’ Clearly, they are not toys.”
- “Parents were never notified beforehand about this in-class project,” Mutti went on to say to the board. “Students were never given the opportunity to opt out of the project. In our faith tradition, the Scriptures say not to make any graven image or likeness of anything in heaven above or earth below. Not only are we not to make idols, our faith tradition says we are not to bring idols into our homes. After the students completed their project, they were told by the teacher to take their dolls home.”
- CBN News has reached out to both the superintendent of the Lexington Local School and the school board president. At the time of publication, neither the superintendent nor school board president had responded.
