Teacher Fired For Using Music Mentioning Jesus

The Pacific Justice Institute announced in a press release today that it is representing a dance teacher working for a California school district who was improperly fired. A staff member had complained that in her class, the dismissed teacher was using religious music that referenced Jesus. PJI said that along with secular music, the instructor had used a Latin rendition of J.S. Bach's Dona Nobis Pachem. She also used O Si Funi Mungu ("Praise God"), sung in Swahili with some interspersed English.
