Late last year, a public school teacher in northern Idaho told students to write an essay titled, "I Believe." But there was one caveat – the students were not allowed to write anything about God in their papers.
That act of religious censorship prompted a group of Christian students to start asking questions – and those questions led to the creation of a video that addresses Christian bullying in public schools.
"There is a lot of bullying directed at Christian kids in public schools and the culture at large," said Gary Brown, founder of Reach America. "So many teenagers are being ostracized for being a Christian."
Reach America is a national organized based in Coeur d'Alene, Id., that is dedicated to raising up the next generation of Christian leaders. The group is comprised of young people from various churches around the region.
Brown said they decided to produce a video based on the debate that came about after the school teacher refused to allow students to mention God in their papers. "One of the girls asked why," Brown told Fox News. "It turned into a video where Christianity is being frozen out of the American culture. These teenagers say it's time for a thaw."
