Nowhere has anyone said that she wasn't influenced by her own religious beliefs.
What has been stated is that her religious beliefs should be irrelevant to her being a good teacher, especially a secular teacher in a public school, just as being Jewish or Muslim or atheist should be irrelevant to whether one is a good teacher, and a memorial that honors her as a teacher would have been more appropriate than a memorial that exclusively references her religious beliefs.

Hello pot, I don't think you've met the kettle.
Inferring that her religious beliefs are the cause of her being "beloved" is as much a stretch as anything you're claiming we're doing.
Quote:In any case the right thing to do to eliminate all this fighting would to be allowing all symbols on all public grounds, that way no one can say the government was supporting one over the other.
Or no religious symbols on any public ground.
