A North Carolina teacher was suspended for allegedly segregating her students based on their religious beliefs, as well as their stances on abortion and gay marriage, according to a new report.

Julia Lopp, who teaches Spanish at South Johnston High School, first grouped the students based on their religious beliefs, and then questioned them about whether they supported or opposed abortion rights, WTVD reported.

She then she asked them where they stood on LGBTQ rights and beliefs, according to The Johnston County Report.

She’s accused of verbally ridiculing students who said they believed in God, according to the report.

Lopp also allegedly warned her students that if they reported her actions, she would “not recommend them for a job or even entrance to college,” WTVD reported.

As the school district investigated, Lopp, who was hired as a Spanish teacher in August, was suspended with pay, according to the report.

“This is an unfortunate incident and one I wish had not happened,” Superintendent Dr. Jim Causby said in a statement. “It is never appropriate for a teacher to segregate students based on religious, political or personal beliefs. In fact, it is not appropriate for a teacher to even ask a student what their beliefs are.”

“Our school system takes very seriously the rights of students in these areas and students should never be instructed to not share classroom activities with their parents,” Causby continued. “The current incident is under investigation by our Human Resources Department and the teacher is currently suspended with pay while the investigation takes place. When the investigation is completed, I will review the findings and determine what final decisions need to be made.”

Student Ethan Johnson told the station that he wasn’t in Lopp’s class, but his friends were.

“It’s pretty crazy,” Johnson said. “I wouldn’t expect [anything] like that. It’s just weird. I don’t know even know if teachers are allowed to talk about religion at school, because no one at South [Johnston] does.”
