Perce filed a formal complaint with the district, alleging the 1949 law Act 14 prohibits any public school teacher from displaying a religious symbol or emblem in class, ABC reports.

“If a child is subjected to a teacher where a symbol of Judaism is allowed to skirt the law, I believe that a Muslim should be allowed to cover her head as well as a Christian to cover her head like the Bible commands,” Perce said.

The school district’s attorney apparently disagrees.

He sent a letter to Perce, who forwarded it to ABC, that states the district won’t require the teacher to remove the necklace and cited a western Pennsylvania case in which a teacher assistant was permitted to wear a Christian cross, the news site reports.

“Perce says if the district doesn’t act, the 1949 law states that the board could be fined and the teacher suspended,” ABC reports.

Perce removed his child from the teacher’s classroom in protest, according to OpposingViews.com.

And it’s not his first religious protest.

In 2012, Perce was an outspoken atheist who protested the “Year of the Bible,” according to the news site.

“Today, I’m an Orthodox Christian,” he told ABC.

He’s also known as “Brother Ernest” on the website Jesuswasnotajew.org, where he proselytizes about his new faith and attempts to convince his audience that Jews are responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and others. He encourages his readers to contact him at [email protected] or by phone at 717-461-2512.

Virtually everyone who reacted to the story online believes Perce is a loon who should find better things to do than waste the school district’s time and resources.

“I fail to see how wearing a Star of David is teaching kids about a religious point of view,” Elldee posted to ABC. “As a Christian I often wear a cross and it has never resulted in a conversation about my religious beliefs.”

Poster speaksthetruth believes Perce is off-base with his assessment of the law.

“It is clear that Mr. Perce did not do his legal research before raising his challenge. The necklace can only be considered a religious symbol if it is a significant size larger than typical jewelry,” according to speaksthetruth.

“A Cross, Star of David and similar can all be worn by school employees as long as they are of normal jewelry size. Unless the teacher’s … necklace is the size of a rapper’s medallion his suit will be dismissed. It is a shame the district has to spend time and resources on this.”

“Everybody relax. This guy is a blowhard with his cause du jour. He’s an atheist, then the wind blows. Now he’s an Orthodox Christian,” HumansEmbarrassUniverse posted.

“Depending on what side of the bed he wakes up on tomorrow he may very well ask this teacher out for lox and bagels. If this kid truly is bothered by the Star of David necklace, he and the kid have much bigger issues to deal with down the road.”

“Agreed!” Michele Greenawalt added.
