I read and article in the Californian of a teacher in Mission Viejo who is getting sued by a student.  It seems the teacher, James Corbett a history or social studies teacher of 19 years, likes to let his students know that he thinks Christians are just plain wrong.  He was taped lecturing his students to "take off your Jesus glasses and see the truth".  The student got offended and has files a law suit on the teacher for violation of the First amendment to the Constitution.  That one says that the state cannot back a religion but neither can it be against a religion.

Now put this in the context of the recent turmoil in Kern County Board of Education where a Board member wanted to put up posters quoting the national motto "In God We Trust".  There were quite a few people who thought that Board member was promoting Christianity.   Now I wonder what those folks would think of Teacher James Corbett in their School System.  A teacher does have freedom of speech but in the classroom that speech should not include personal bias.

A teacher does influence the future but so does a preacher.

I have had atheists for teachers and I disregarded those teachings, those classes were harder for me because I caught myself editing what the teacher was teaching.  I would like to hear the views of Liberals (you know who you are - you can't play baseball because youd would have to run to the right).
