Seperation of Church and State? What seperation?
Presented with a fall incident in which Paszkiewicz (whose official designation is that of a history teacher) denounced evolution as “unscientific” and told a Muslim girl she was bound for hell unless she got down with the Christianist program, the board waited until January to take any kind of action.
It gets better. And by “better” I mean “terrible”:
In an attempt to placate parents and taxpayers who expect schools to be places of education instead of asylums for half-baked preachers, the board announced that it had taken some kind of unspecified disciplinary action against the Preachin’ Teach. Biologists will recognize this as a “threat display,” an attempt to appear big and menacing that’s employed by all manner of life forms both vertebrate and (appropriately, in this case) invertebrate. Since the Preachin’ Teach has reportedly been running around telling students that people who talk about global warming are using Nazi-style propaganda techniques, it seems doubtful that the threat display is very convincing.
So, to recap: when a teacher is caught using the public schools to force their religious views on others, they aren’t fired but only subject to “disciplinary action” while students are no longer allowed to record their lectures because, you know, that would provide proof the teachers are still at it and the school board doesn’t give a fuck.
