«Breaking News» Texas community backs teacher who was criticized for having students recite a daily Bible verse

A small Texas town has backed a teacher who was criticized for having her students recite a Bible verse daily.

First-grade teacher, Susan Schobel, of Smithville, came under fire earlier this month after a video of her students reading a verse from a passage in the New Testament book of Romans, was shared on social media. 

In the now-deleted video, the Brown Primary School children are gathered in a circle in their classroom and can be heard saying: 'Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good.' 

Shortly after Schobel's video was shared on Facebook, several supporters shared their thoughts on the post.

Shortly after Schobel's video was shared on Facebook, several supporters shared their thoughts on the post (pictured)

One of those supporters, Dane Garrison, started the hashtag #IStandwithSusan on Facebook that was accompanied by a t-shirt (pictured) that was created to raise funds for the Smithville Born Again Emporium

'I've been wanting to do this my whole teaching career, but thought I couldn't You are amazing!' one supporter wrote. 

Another said: 'As a parent I love it! I got your back!'  

In response to her supporters, Schobel said in a now-deleted post: 'If I get fired teaching my children about Jesus then I'm getting fired for a great reason!'

One of those supporters, Dane Garrison, started the hashtag #IStandwithSusan on Facebook that was accompanied by his support for Schobel. 

'I believe everyone has a right to stand up for what they believe in. So do I.. #istandwithsusan I believe in love and kindness being taught in our classrooms,' Garrison wrote. 

'She has touched and enriched the lives of so many children over the years,' Garrison added. 

Garrison's Facebook post was also accompanied by black t-shirts with the hashtag on the front and the Romans verse, 12:9-10, on the back. 

'Any and all proceeds will be given to the Smithville Born Again Emporium. These people spread the love of God each week in our community!' Garrison said of the shirts.

One parent told Fox 7 that he doesn't have anything against religion, but he doesn't believe it belongs in the classroom. 

One parent said he doesn't have anything against religion, but it doesn't belong in the classroom. 'I actually love Jesus. I love his teachings, his practices, and it's been a big impact in my life, but I don't believe that belongs in the public school system,' Charlie Lucko (above) said

Superintendent Cheryl Burns said in a statement that the district welcomes 'the diversity of thought, worship, ideas and speech in our community'. Pictured is Brown Primary School 

And according to religion experts, the teacher violated a 1963 Supreme Court ruling. Bible (file image) readings and prayer in public schools became unconstitutional following the Abington School District vs. Schempp ruling

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
