A high school student in California is generating a lot of buzz for suing his teacher for doing what teachers do. That is to say, abusing the subjective nature of their job by indoctrinating kids with insane opinions.

The kid was smart and got the teacher on tape recorder. What did the teacher say?

Some of the comments by his teacher, James Corbett, included, “When you put on your Jesus glasses, you can’t see the truth” and “Conservatives don’t want women to avoid pregnancies – that’s interfering with God’s work.” The comments were made while he was teaching Advanced Placement European history at Capistrano Valley High School.

You read right - essentially, a high school teacher for AP European History used his position to espouse anti-Christian and Liberal viewpoints. Even though the second comment - the one about conservatives - really isn’t that offensive (or false), the fact that this guy even says something like “Conservatives [something]” in AP European history says that this guy had been enjoying way too much license with what he could tell kids.

If you’re wondering, like I was, where the legal grounding is for suing, check it out:

In the suit filed last Wednesday, the 16-year-old and his parents charged the instructor of violating the Establishment Clause, which prohibits government from advancing religion or promoting hostility toward religion.

So I’m not sure how the case will go.  I’m just glad to see a teacher getting called on his BS. I hope this starts a trend.
