* HollywoodLaw: You cannot be sued for simply mentioning Jesus in a public school, especially if it's just responding to a student's question whether he taught nonviolence (public schools have comparative religion classes, you know). The case would have been dismissed, or a summary judgment entered for the teacher. Even if she were fired (which ''she'' could sue for) they couldn't take away her teaching certificate. Assuming the case somehow went to court, Jesus' existence would be legally irrelevant.

** The film seems to be trying to go along with the recent controversy where a football couch lead his team in pray and was fired for it as if to prove how all that is happening in this film is true. What this film misses is that unlike the teacher in this film she was not leading a prayer, she was just answering a question that another student brought up.

** Many fans referred to the first film as an IdiotPlot as all Josh had to do was inform a higher up of what Raddison was doing to get it to stop. Instead they invoke that here in an instance where the teacher ''wasn't'' trying to convert someone to their belief and act as if it was terrible that she wasn't allowed to do that.

** The first film was this great speel spiel about how one should not force you to got go against your beliefs. This film whines about how Christians can't force their beliefs on others. It's pretty obvious that if a teacher of any other religion (let alone an atheist) trying to convert their children would draw outrage from Christians (with good reason). Heck, even a Hindu saying a prayer before Congress (like Christian chaplains do routinely), caused angry protests. That's why separation of church and state ''exists'', something which is lost on many.
