A teacher at a Texas high school has been relieved of her duties after delivering a religious rant to her class about how she is pregnant with God’s child and that God controls one of her eyes, which he uses to watch the students.
“I am married to God, and I don’t know what’s going to happen to my (earthly) husband,” the ninth-grade teacher at Veterans Memorial Academy in San Benito, Texas, told her class. “One of my eyes is mine and the other one belongs to God, so God is watching what you all are doing.”
A student recorded the incident on his cell phone and later posted it to the video sharing website Youtube.com. In the video, which runs over 12 minutes, some students can be seen exiting the classroom while others taunt the teacher until eventually an administrator arrives, confronts her, and leads her from the classroom.
Antonio Limon, Superintendent of the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, told the Brownsville Herald that the teacher suffered from a bad reaction to her medication, but the teacher was having none of it.
Asked by a reporter for the San Benito News why she made the outlandish claims, the teacher responded, “Because it’s true.”
“San Benito CISD wants to assure the parents that a replacement teacher has been assigned to fulfill the classroom duties of the teacher in question and will remain there for the remainder of the school year,” the school said in a written statement, which has declined to name the teacher because of confidentiality concerns.
