AUSTIN, Texas – It’s not every day a middle schooler can say the governor has her back.

But today, Katy, Texas seventh grader Jordan Wooley visited Texas Gov. Greg Abbott at the Governor’s Mansion in an event that caps a tumultuous 10 days for the student.

Along with her mother, Wooley visited with the governor, who later said he “applauded her on the courage of her convictions.”

Several photos of Jordan’s big day were shared with EAGnews:

Jordan Wooley spoke to the Katy ISD school board October 26th and explained how her teacher had forced students to say God was a myth or take a failing grade.

“Today I was given an assignment in school that questioned my faith and told me that God was not real. Our teacher had started off saying that the assignment had been giving problems all day. We were asked to take a poll to say whether God is fact, opinion or a myth and she told anyone who said fact or opinion was wrong and God was only a myth,” Wooley told board members.

The teacher, “started telling kids they were completely wrong and that when kids argued we were told we would get in trouble. When I tried to argue, she told me to prove it, and I tried to reference things such as the Bible and stories I have read before from people who have died and went to heaven but came back and told their stories, and she told me both were just things people were doing to get attention.

“I know it wasn’t just me who was affected by it. My friend, she went home and started crying. She was supposed to come with me but she didn’t know if she could” because she was so upset, Wooley said.

After Jordan’s testimony, school district administrators publicly apologized for the lesson, only to try to attack the student’s credibility by saying no other students corroborated her story.

But a FOX 26 story from last night confirmed other students back up Jordan’s claims and they went ignored — or covered up — by administrators.
