I thought the Xtians insisted Creationism was a "Science" not a religion, thus allowing them to teach it in secular schools. Either/or, morans; Either it's a "Science" and the teach can mock it as much as astrology, or it's Religion and the student should keep it to himself.

XTians who reject science should be forced (by jackbooted government goons if possible) to live with Bible science, Bible medicine and Bible justice system. 'Cause it's a package deal: scientific techniques that make the scooter work also explains biology. Get over it.

I also thought the teacher was kind of harsh but then again I was not present during their discussion. I could imagine a scenario where a headstrong, highly religious student who insists on spewing his beliefs to the point of disrupting the class might cause a teacher to get a little pissed off.
