Child Who Refused Mosque Field Trip Given Zero for Standing Up for Christian Faith

A controversial field trip to an Islamic mosque has caused a Tennessee high school to revise its field trip policy.

Students in a freshman honors world studies class at Henderson High School on Sept. 4 visited the Islamic Center of Nashville, where they were reportedly given copies of the Quran. They also visited a Hindu temple.

A Sumner County Schools spokesperson acknowledged there was concern about the field trip.

“Our district has reviewed the practice and decided to eliminate field trips to religious venues from this class, as it does not provide equal representation to all the religions studied in the course unit,” read the statement sent to Fox News. “This decision was made due to the fact that equal representation in regards to field trips for all religions studied in the course is not feasible.”

Feel Like Your not Ready? But Is God Ready?

"We are never ready for the things that God wants to do.

Scripture is littered with encounters and stories and

scenarios where people were never ready for what

God wanted.

The real issue is, is He ready?

He does not bring something to you unless He feels

you are ready for it, so you have to become ready in

Him."
