Student Suspended For Ripping Pages Out of The Bible During Class

18-year-old student Isaiah Smith was suspended from Birdville High School in Texas last week for apparently ripping pages of Leviticus out of his Bible during his Spanish class.

Smith, who is homosexual, brought the Bible to his first period Spanish class to debunk statements made by his classmates suggesting that homosexuality is a sin. Smith who is Christian said that his homosexuality and his faith bare no conflict of interest.

"At my high school, some kids like to say that being gay is a sin and that you can't be gay and Christian," Smith said in an interview "I wanted to bring my Bible to school and interpret the books of Leviticus and Romans because they are often used to bully gay people."

Students told Smith that he would go to hell for being gay and that's when Smith began ripping pages out of the Bible. The high school's Vice Principal Glenn Serviente escorted Smith out of the classroom.

Days later Smith was called back to the vice principal's office where he was again scolded for ripping the pages out of his Bible. "How would Muslims feel if a student was tearing up the Quran?" Serviente asked?

Smith told Serviente that he understood some students would take what he did in offense, but that he wasn't tearing up another person's Bible or the school's Bible, but his own. Smith was suspended on the spot for three day and had his Bible confiscated.
