If they have the guy on tape .. he's busted. But they better hope they got it.

I went to christian school, so hearing about a public school teahcer talking about religion (whether yay or nay) is kinda odd imo.

oh and ron that orange country crap is the choppers luv

How is that more strange than a public school teacher talking about religion in the classroom? Public school is supposed to be totally nutral regarding religion.

teachers should teach and not bully students.

whatever his opinion of faith he was simply bullying the boy and should be dismissed for bullying


oh and ron that orange country crap is the choppers luv

I know you hate those guys...but that OC is across the country...the OC I grew up in, we went outside on Christmas day in tank tops and shorts, lol!!!

i agree with you over the suing ,but sadly i understand this happened in the US and you lot seem to sue over everything...i suppose it keeps lawyers in work and gives great pay outs.

the article doesnt say whether any disciplinary action was taken or not.

yes, but it does say a lawsuit was filed against him. I can't stand it how they won't just fire his ass, NOOOO, they have to sue him and get every little penny they can out of his cold, empty bank account. Some people just piss me off to no end.

I agree with people getting criminal compensation for stuff that has affected them but how much? I really don't think someone saying a few words you dislike about your religion is that traumatic. Hell, I should owe people on here thousands if you could sue over as much stuff as you seem to be able to in America!

It is just another needless 'shot'.

the teacher wasnt talking about religion as i see it he was using the boys faith(possibly a very personal and important part of his life) to bully and ridicule him.
if he had said his penis and brain were small for instance i would have thought it just as degrading and bullying,he chose the boys faith which shows religious ignorance and intolerance so shouldnt be in a position to teach and influence young people.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, only just noticed this. I was just kind of pointing out that if a school which is supposed to be biased to one religion can teach without offending a completely different one, surely a school which is supposed to be neutral shouldn't have too much problem there either.

No they aren't. They're supposed to teach evolution exclusively, which can be interpreted as anti-religious.... :willy_nilly:

I would love to hear how evolution slanders religion???

Well, according to the most widely accepted religious views here in America...evolution calls them wrong??? :dunno

 

[gLing]

If they are not allowed to teach religious views in school then they should not be allowed to openly bash religion either.

Not really, since a lot of Christians believe in evolution. Even if we go with what you say, thats not anti-religious.

Right, but these Christians still believe in God and that God is behind it all. They are in essense separating science and religion. Folks that don't believe in God try to say that evolution disproves there is a God thus making it 'anti-religious'.
