Apparently she had tried to get some of the students' parents involved and the parents wanted nothing to do with it, so she took the whole thing public herself, in attempts to get the school closed for firing her.

If anyone has an issue, perhaps the parents that taught the kids about their beliefs should be held accountable. The teacher's activity is a common one used in with younger students. Frequently classes have some type of animal or puppet that the students can name. It makes class a little friendlier and is a great approach to inspiring self expression in younger children. I've known many folks by the name of Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and I've never thought of them as particularly different from the rest of the population. Perhaps we should globally ban the use of any of these names so as not to affend. Equally ridiculous.
