If it does not sound good, we are in trouble. She got sacked I think, or at least a serious warning for that. The Bassist Posted at 4:46 pm on Aug. 23, 2011 Good on the teacher, that sort of thing has no place in a classroom Paloma Posted at 6:44 am on Aug. 23, 2011 That's rather unprofessional of the teacher. I've had many biology and anthropology teachers in high school and in college who respected the beliefs of the students, and even discussed the ideas behind Intelligent Design. No one was ever mocked, or ridiculed, but we were taught science and expected to know the material, regardless of how we felt about it. I believe in an absolute truth, but too many people think they have it for all of us to assert our dominance and still live in a free, open and remotely peaceful society.

Praise the Lard Posted at 5:23 am on Aug. 23, 2011 good. creationism should be mocked openly, because it has no place in any classroom, anywhere. it is the antithesis to scientific discovery and it is poisonous to a growing mind. Luckych4p Posted at 2:43 am on Aug. 23, 2011 My creationist science teacher mocked evolutionists for thinking that life started from the dirt (not sure where he got that idea). When we reminded him that even the Bible said that man God made man from the dirt he quickly called us spawns of Satan and told us to leave the room.

I'm on the side of the teacher. starry night Posted at 2:25 am on Aug. 23, 2011 Quote: from B1tch Please at 5:21 am on Aug. 23, 2011 I once had as teacher who made fat jokes about my friend and said black people can't swim because they have heavy bones   We just thought he was a nutcase every lesson everyone was in tears laughing at what he said I had a teacher who would make the noise that's plays in the movie jaws before the shark attacks when I was around 010 Posted at 2:21 am on Aug. 23, 2011 I once had as teacher who made fat jokes about my friend and said black people can't swim because they have heavy bones We just thought he was a nutcase every lesson everyone was in tears laughing at what he said All 10 previous replies displayed.
