As a teacher she is showing disrespect to you. If she doesn't wise up - put a discrimination complaint against her - it's not spiritual, it's business.

Loosie,
By all means I think you should call this witness out on the carpet. She is going "beyond what is written" even under JW rules of conduct. If she so spiritually weak that she cannot act civil and perform her job responsibilities, maybe she should quit. Do not let this situation go unreported. Give these idiots enough rope and eventually they will hang themselves.

Loosie, don't let her get away with being rude and disrespectful. I agree that you should tastefully call her to the carpet in front of the other employees. Phrase it so that she has to answer for her behavior in front of everyone and let her explain for herself her own ignorance. Maybe people will shun her and she can see how it feels to be shunned. It is totally unnecessary, childish and inhuman. I bet she won't like how it feels even though she chooses to remain ignorant and blind. That's assuming that she does have emotions and does feel.

Call her on it in front of her coworkers, and go higher if necessary. If she can't deal with everyone impartially because of her cultist crap than she has no business working with members of the public.

Report the incident directly to the Headteacher.
Complain on the grounds of "religious discrimination"
Say that she refuses to talk to you on "religious grounds"
When questioned she'll have to admit or lie.I'd put your complaint in writing.
If you don't get any joy write to the Governors.

She's got humongous testicles to be audacious enough, to do that at her work. I'd make the biggest stink I could come up with to the school admins. You're crazy to let her get away with that bullshit. I'd file every conceivable formal complaint against her that's available. Stupid ass dubs!

I would let the principal know how you are being treated, and then I would inform the school district, and let them know that you and your husband believe you are being discriminated against due to religion (hers) and that it doesn't coinside with your religious beliefs (if any anymore) Also let them know that you will seek the advice of an attorney if this person persists in doing this. That should get her straightened out. don't put up with their nonsense.
I had something similar happen at a grocery store, one of the cashiers their would never speak, why I don't know had never been df'd or da'd and was just inactive but she wouldn't speak or say hi, so I went to manager had a talk with them, and thold them if she continued to ignore me i would be taking my business elsewhere and i would be very public about it and let people know why in a very loud voice while i would be checking out. Well that definitely got a apology from him for her actions (or lack there of) and she almost chocked the next time i came in and made it a point of using her counter to check out. I also called her dad an elder and let him know how she was acting.

Those idiots always freeze up around me, and act completely retarted. Thinking if they freeze and stay really quiet I won't see them. One time a 6'3 , 280 lb man tried this on me, it was hilarious watching him stand completely still while my mom (also Df'd) and I (DF'd) "milled" around teh meat case picking out our meat for that evening's meal, and carrying on a conversation around both sides of him... It was priceless...

What an unprofessional! But the bad news is for her: she may be guilty of discrimination on religious grounds, and doesn't deserve her job---laws are there to protect you, your husband and your child. Schools will JUMP to fix situations like these because they exist by the grace of your and your husband's income tax dollars. What if your child (gasp!) was injured or some school-wide emergency took place (unfortunately--a likelihood!) and this lump had to contact your husband. . .do you see where she has already has made plain that she will not help him??
If your husband was of another race and she behaved this way, you wouldn't hesitate to light a fire and end her employment there for discrimination, plus she will put your child AND your husband's rights as a parent at risk.
I'm voting with talk to the principle and explain their shunning practice and her actions, using words like 'discrimination' and 'because of our religious beliefs'--if that doesn't work write a letter to the principle, school board, whomever. Teach her a lesson and educate people about JWs.
OOOooooh this makes me mad!
(short story--In an apartment leasing office two families came in, each with a child. The leasing agent helping a white family fussed over their baby and said 'how cute' etc; the leasing agent helping the black family didn't--the family claimed racial prejudice, a judge decided that the 'business'--not the individual--displayed preference for the white family. The topic of whether either party was approved for an apartment was not at issue! My friend was the leasing manager, I read the judgment.)
