EEOC Says School Broke Law In Firing Christian Teacher Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.” The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says a public school district in New Jersey broke the law when it fired a substitute teacher who gave a middle school student a Bible. The federal agency said that Walt Tutka was illegally fired in 2013 after he gave a Bible to a student who approached him privately and asked where “the first will be last and the last will be first” was written. Tutke told Fox News the situation began in October 2012 when he held the door open for students rushing to be first for lunch. He told the last student in line “just remember, the first will be last and the last will be first.” The student then approached Tutke several times asking where that phrase was written. Tutke looked it up and told the student where in the Bible it was located but the student wanted to find it for themselves. “I thought that was going to be the end of it, but it wasn’t,” Tutka said. “He continued to speak with me until one day I happened to have my Bible with me right during lunch. It hit me when he stopped me and I said, ‘Look, here it is right here. Here you go. “It was a gift,” Tutka added. “[He] said [he] didn’t have one; [he] wanted one.” The EEOC said “there is reasonable cause to believe that respondent has discriminated against [the] charging party on the basis of religion and retaliation.” Related Teacher Bans Missouri Middle School Student From Reading Bible In Bible Broward County Schools Reverses Bible Ban In Bible Removal Oklahoma School District To Offer Bible Course In Bible Course Posted on January 8, 2015 By Jason Wert , Staff Writer This entry was tagged Bible, Christian Persecution, EEOC, New Jersey, Public School.
