Teacher telling her class that a student's religious beliefs were "stupid," the same teacher instructing her students that scientists advancing the theory of evolution were "stupid," pictures of Jesus hanging from the school walls -- caught national attention in January when the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of the student and his family.
What I find most amazing about this is how brazen it was. As if they were blissfully unaware that somebody might actually do something about it and that the law was absolutely not on their side.
This is what happens when Republicans are in power. Can it be any more clear they have no idea what is in the constitution even though the RWNJ always babble about being supposed constitutionalists?

Two words for you: teachers' union. They even protect pedophiles, who also act as if nothing can be done about their behavior.
“If evolution was real, it would still be happening," Roark allegedly said. "Apes would be turning into humans today.”
This is a quote from the teacher in the article. I just can't stress enough how funny it is to me that someone would think it's a legitimate argument. No wonder we lag so far behind the rest of the civilized world in math and science.

Um... evolution IS taught in school. Still doesn't stop us from lagging so far behind the rest of the civilized world in math and science.
Public school prison is no place for children. Examples exist of right and left indoctrination, so blaming one ideology over the other is ridiculous.
Given the constant teeth-gnashing and wailing about even the hint of religion in public schools, it's interesting to note that the schools that best educate students even after controlling for SES, are holy order Catholic Schools.
Quote:
"It's true that controlling for socioeconomic status (SES) eliminates most of the public-school/private-school differences in achievement-test scores in math, reading, science and history. But even after you control for SES, Catholic schools run by holy orders (not those overseen by the local bishop) turned out to perform better than other schools studied. True, as the study says, there are only a small number of religious-order schools. But the data suggests that the type of school a kid attends does affect how well he will do — and that we could learn something from how holy orders run their schools."
