Viral story about Bible-hating Missouri teacher falls apart after principal investigates

A Kansas City middle schooler and his parents complained the 12-year-old’s teacher stopped him from reading the Bible during free time, but their story fell apart on closer examination. Loyal Grandstaff said he decided to bring his favorite book to school to read before the holiday break, and he said the teacher asked him to stop – even though he claims he wasn’t reading aloud or during class time. “He doesn’t want me reading it in his class because he don’t believe it, because he feels like he’s shut down,” the boy said. The story, first reported Monday by WDAF-TV, quickly went viral, and the principal promised to investigate the incident.
