I think this is a public high school, meaning it was run by the government
2. That means that part of the drafting of the first amendment was to protect the religious freedoms of people to teach their own children whatever religion they want. If I’m a Lutheran, the last thing I want is for a Catholic to tell my kids whether or not transubstantiation happens.
3. There are already many supreme court cases deciding this, it’s settled law.
4. It would be different in a private school. I won’t send my kid to a Catholic school to learn Lutheran values, but if I did, I wouldn’t expect them not to teach Catholic values.

here is the link to the blog that originally broke the story and the links are in the blog

this isnt about free speech…this is about a piss poor teacher being allowed to spew horsecrap during a class that is alledgedly about us history.

the tape in question is mostly the teach spewing religion and his dislike of the public school system

the other tape is his spewing the faux news perspective of world events

i suggest you all listen to the the recordings…and listen close as you hear him mistate numerous events in history….such as what occured in post war germany

As Brad pointed out, he deserves to get shit-canned on that basis alone.

The context in which Mr. Paszkiewicz made his comments is what will truly tell whether or not he was breaking Mathew’s constitutional liberties. If Mr. Paszkiewicz indeed say “God will send you to hell if you don’t believe in him.” then he is guilty. But, if Mr. Paszkiewicz stated “It is my personal religious belief that God will…” beforehand, he has lawfully exercised his freedom of speech.

There’d be some disciplinary actions taken. It’s clear that he simply wasn’t doing his job.
