An elementary school teacher in Utah has been placed on leave after telling a student to wash off the cross on his forehead on Ash Wednesday, a school district spokesman says.
"The actions were unacceptable. No student should ever be asked or required to remove an ash cross from his or her forehead," the school district said.
Moana Patterson, a 4th-grade teacher in Bountiful, a city just north of Salt Lake City, has been placed on leave amid an investigation into the incident, a Davis School District spokesman said Thursday.
