Prayer and politics are two taboos in public schoolrooms. Prayer was dismissed from class long ago, but politics finds its way in every once in a while. And when it does, some parents are sure to object.

The latest breach of the wall of separation between school and, well, the outside world allegedly occurred in suburban Denver’s Cherry Creek School District, where a teacher has been suspended after complaints from parents. The Aurora Sentinel offers details:

Asia Lyons is a sixth-grade extended core teacher at Sky Vista Middle School in Aurora and was placed on administrative leave Oct. 6. The move came after a group of parents complained to Cherry Creek administration about her social justice class and a guest speaker that came to the class named Dezy Saint-Nolde, also known as Queen Phoenix. Saint-Nolde, a prominent social justice activist in Denver, has pleaded innocent to felony and misdemeanor charges in Denver that stem from gifting marijuana for suggested donations and has said the charges are a way to keep her from protesting racial and social injustice.

Earlier this month, the Cherry Creek school board heard from parents objecting to the subject matter as well as from fellow teachers and a former student defending the teacher.

One parent critical of the teacher and the curriculum charged: “What do you say to your children when they come home and say that Ms. Lyons said you don’t have to stand for the pledge of allegiance because that would be showing you support Donald Trump?”

The Sentinel noted that particular allegation against Lyons hasn’t been confirmed and that a timeline for a decision on her fate isn’t yet known:

Abbe Smith, spokeswoman for CCSD, said district policy is to have classroom speakers approved by the principal of the school. Smith said part of the ongoing investigation is to find out if that process was followed in this instance.

By the way, Queen Phoenix announced last week on her Facebook page that:

…With trial starting next week, I want to let y’all know that I will not be using facebook anymore. I have many reasons for this decision and it’ll be in effect almost immediately for our family’s safety and sanity. …
