Marisol Arroyo-Castro, a veteran teacher, was placed in a rubber room after refusing to remove a crucifix from her desk at DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School. She displayed the cross for a decade without issue. After a complaint, she was asked to relocate the cross and ultimately refused. Following her refusal, the school removed it and barred her from returning to the classroom. After unsuccessful mediation, her situation now awaits a judge's decision, leaving her uncertain about her future employment.
Marisol Arroyo-Castro, a 33-year veteran teacher, states, 'I had it for 10 years and never a problem. And then one day I got a message... saying that I needed to take it down.' Her refusal to remove the crucifix has led to her being placed in a rubber room, raising significant issues regarding religious expression in public schools.
Castro expressed her emotional turmoil: 'I went home and cried for the whole night. And then I came back in the morning and I moved it back to the classroom wall.' This determination led to her being escorted out of the building.
