A Mississippi mother\u2019s social media post of a write-up her first grader received at school for saying \u201cJesus Christ\u201d has earned thousands of comment, reactions, and shares. Shonna Coleman wrote on Facebook, \u201cPlease pray for the schools. My son got this from school for saying Jesus Christ.\u201d The post included a picture of a \u201cparent notice of disciplinary incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason for the notice was checked “unacceptable language,” with the actions taken listed as “had conference with student” and “telephoned parent.” Coleman told FOX TV Stations, “It\u2019s kind of unfair that he didn\u2019t get a warning. It went straight to a write-up. I understand if he did it a second time, and then you write him up.” The note from the teacher said Coleman’s son “said \u2018Jesus Christ\u2019 when he dropped the Legos he was cleaning up from recess.”<\/p>\n
