According to Hensley’s complaint, the parents demanded she publicly admit she demonstrated “unconstitutional hostility against the beliefs of the Christian students in the classroom by questioning the literal content of the Bible and by teaching her theological position that the Bible contains errors.”

Lovely. If I understand their argument, my lack of belief in the sanctity of the Bible is unconstitutional.

Shapes Of Things To Come.   The tenuous grasp on reality already demonstrated by the hordes seems to be on a virtual juggernaut... Remember Phwedd and Alladin, keep voting with the Nutjobs!  You'll get the Gov't you deserve!

Ahem.  I'd appreciate you sourcing your title correctly and not lumping the fine people South of the Border in with this nonsense.

I outgrew my munitions fetish some years ago but SOB was my mecca as a hitchhiking kid. Came damn close in 1970 to a night in stir for firing my purchase from their front lawn.

There was a tard in my college biology class who insisted on challenging the professor when we were covering evolution.  I pulled her aside during the break and reminded her that the professor tested on the material whether he was able to cover it during class time or not.  I explained that it wasn't necessary for her to believe what the professor was saying, but that getting a good grade in this required basic class was critical to her ambitions.  This stopped her harassment of the teacher.

I would no more try to bring religious theology to bear in a science class than I would stand up and argue about the thermodynamic principles violated in the loaves-n-fishes miracle. Or argue Star Trek at a Star Wars convention. You just gotta let people be comfortable in their ignorance. It's theirs, not yours.

Because it’s a simple fact that the realities of science contradict a literal belief in the Bible.

That's because a literal belief in the bible is incredibly stupid. Science and religion don't contradict each other, because they don't overlap at any point.
