Atheist sues school when teachers don't give her a recommendation.
Permalink  
 

A self-proclaimed atheist high school graduate is suing her alma mater in Colorado, alleging teachers sabotaged her grades and chances for college admission due to her lack of religious beliefs.

Cidney Fisk, 19, graduated from Delta High School in Delta in 2016. In her lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Denver, she claims her Constitutional rights were violated.

“Not only did they change her grades, they took away her recommendations and they ostracized her,” her attorney Jeffrey Springer told FOX31 Denver.

Fisk says during her enrollment, there was an instance where Bibles were made available to students during the school day. She also said a teacher told her “God gave babies life and abortion is murder” when she was protesting Colorado’s Personhood Amendment in 2014 on school property.

“Defendants retaliated upon plaintiff Fisk, threatened, punished and censored her, for expressing her opinions on religion, abortion, sex education, and drug education,” the lawsuit reads, according to Reuters.

The lawsuit also adds teachers “told Ms. Fisk that she was being highly disrespectful and that if she wanted her grades to go up, she should ‘shut up’ and ‘fake it until she makes it.’”

Fisk states despite her GPA being 4.1 her senior year, she was not recommended for National Honor Society membership and two colleges denied her admission because of poor feedback from school staff, FOX31 Denver reported.

The school says on its website: “in all our differences we unite together.

“We are a diverse student body of approximately 630 students from various backgrounds, beliefs, and interests, nestled together in our rural Delta community,” reads a message from Principal Derek Carlson.

The school did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FoxNews.com.

I guess I'm confused. Her GPA was a 4.1 but she says the teachers lowered her grades? If they lowered her grade based upon not liking her I get her point. But if she was nasty and confrontational in class and class participation counts..... But how is a 4.1 a lowered grade?


It sounds like she was not very well liked, and as far as I know, no one has to give you a recommendation.

 She must have taken AP courses which in HS will raise your GPA above 4.0

If she was protesting on school property then a teacher has free speech to towards a protestor.

Sounds like a good school if her allegations about their teachings are correct.

Not sure how they changed her grades if she had a 4.1 gpa. But, sorry, you don't get to argue with teachers and disrupt classes all day with your stupid opinions.

A personal reccomendation is different than an academic one. If your an arsehole don't expect a good personal reccomendation. Duh
