Joelle Silver is a veteran teacher in the Cheektowaga School District in Western New York. She has been teaching Biology and Anatomy for seven years now, and was formerly involved with the school’s bible club before the recent controversy. Silver was forced by the district’s superintendent to take down a prayer box in her classroom, especially made for the bible club and not the school, as well as a variety of sticky notes she kept on her desk that included Reagan quotes and bible verses. Accordingly, the bible verses were not drawn from the more “fire and brimstone” areas of scripture but one of them was from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 where Paul advises the believers to be strong, be of courage, and to do everything in love. This verse does not mention any of the exclusive claims of Christianity, but somehow it is still terribly offensive. Consequentially, she was forced to end her involvement with the school’s bible club.
Of course, action against Silver only came about after the lovely folks at the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint with the school district. After the complaint, the school combed her classroom thoroughly, cleansing it of any religious paraphernalia or reference. Silver is being defended by an attorney from the American Freedom Law Center, whose mission is “Fighting For Faith And Freedom.” The school superintendent warned the 29-year old science teacher: “Under no circumstances should you participate in the [Bible Club's] meetings or activities.” The ACLU has also thrown their hat into the ring.

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
