AUTHOR NOTE: The original report we sourced from was apparently misconstrued and seems to be inaccurate. The Ouiji Board in question was shown through video, and no physical board was apparently brought into the class.

There are many people out there who believe that Ouija boards can be used to communicate with The Dead, and many people who do haunted investigations, consider them a legitimate form of communicating with the spirits of people who have passed on.

Other people believe these things are nothing more than light as a feather stiff as a board, magic ball, and other playful and mystical games. But using them in a public setting can probably make some people feel a little bit uncomfortable, especially when it comes to kids.

Recently, according to a report from the Ann Arbor News, a Michigan substitute teacher for the second grade at Freeman Elementary School in Flint has been let go after reports of him, using a Ouija board in a second-grade class.
But one person in the comment section made a point defending the teacher:

Honest question: Is the Ouija board *actually* viewed as inappropriate for classroom settings, and if so, according to whom? This sentence infers there is some official guidance on this either at the state or district level.

He goes on to make a point, that the Ouija Board is much like other playful games, to those who don't believe in the mystical powers:

Other than random vibes, is this board game *actually* different from any other board game or entertainment device, like Monopoly or a Magic 8 Ball? It’s been a minute since I played with one, but honestly, it seems like an ingenious way to get kids to spell stuff in an interactive way.

Do you think this is something that the teacher should have been fired for or do you feel like the school is overreacting?
