Courageous high school student Matthew LaClair gets death threats for blowing the whistle on his Christo-Fascist Teacher proselytizing in class
Bravo to Matthew LeClair for blowing the whistle on his idiot teacher, the guy should be canned and kicked out of the teachers union.
Read the entire New York Times article below, the teacher went as far as to tell a Muslim student they were going to go to hell.
We don’t need ilk like this in our public schools. And Matthew should win some sort of award for protection of the United States Constitution.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Talk in Class Turns to God, Setting Off Public Debate on Rights
KEARNY, N.J. — Before David Paszkiewicz got to teach his accelerated 11th-grade history class about the United States Constitution this fall, he was accused of violating it.
Shortly after school began in September, the teacher told his sixth-period students at Kearny High School that evolution and the Big Bang were not scientific, that dinosaurs were aboard Noah’s ark, and that only Christians had a place in heaven, according to audio recordings made by a student whose family is now considering a lawsuit claiming Mr. Paszkiewicz broke the church-state boundary.
“If you reject his gift of salvation, then you know where you belong,” Mr. Paszkiewicz was recorded saying of Jesus. “He did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sins on his own body, suffered your pains for you, and he’s saying, ‘Please, accept me, believe.’ If you reject that, you belong in hell.”
The student, Matthew LaClair, said that he felt uncomfortable with Mr. Paszkiewicz’s statements in the first week, and taped eight classes starting Sept. 13 out of fear that officials would not believe the teacher had made the comments.

In High School, 11th grade psychology, our teacher (Mr. Bickle - that was his name, right Port?) was teaching the class about cults for a few days. he covered Satanic cults,…a few other things that I can’t remember quite anymore. I remember I found it more interesting than most of the other things that were taught in class though. Anyhow, one day he abrubtly change the itinerary and stopped teaching us about cults and whatnot. Well, it turned out this was because one of our classmates complained to the school principle on the grounds of it being anti-christian. She was this strange-looking little girl (brainwashed, overly-wholsome sort of look?) that always kept to herself and sat in the front row every day. I remember being pissed off about it then, that just one member of the class could stop the rest of us from learning something interesting. Heck, I guess I’m still a little ticked off now that I think about it. I mention this because it’s just like this story, except in reverse. I think these people should go to their owns schools.

“Educator” David Paszkiewicz: truly pathetic, an inbred perversion of Christ’s principals and “death threats”? — right, I hear Christ speaking ALL ABOUT “death threats” in the Gospels…nauseating, and I agree with the comment above: “I think these people should go to their owns schools”.
