THIS ruling appalls me.
As far as I'm concerned, the teacher's first amendment rights have been violated. I must say, I'm not sure why creationism was being discussed in AP European History, but referring to it as "superstitious nonsense" is not out of line.
School introduces everyone to new ideas. That includes the family that brought this lawsuit. The reparations they are requesting, like having the teacher's classes monitored, put a cold chill on my academic heart.
