A texas teacher refuses to do a fingerprint identification due to a problem dealing with her religion. The fingerprinting identification is required for all kindergarten teaches in order for them to teach at the school. The kindergarten teacher believes that fingerprinting constitutes "the mark of the beast" and also violates the first amendment rights to freedom of religion. Due to her not cooperating with the fingerprinting, she faces a suspension and possible dismissal if she continues to refuse the process. This fingerprint process is maily for the care and safety of the children. It is to maximize care for the children by allowing the school to background check each teacher to make sure they have the amount of responsibility needed for the job. She ties this process with the mark of the beast by relating it to the final book of the bible where it talks about receiving a mark on their hand. I think that the teacher is taking it way too far and should not be working in such a public place if she is making such a big deal about a simple fingerprinting. There must be a reason behind it considering her strong resistance against this process especially if she continues to resist with the process.
