This reader comment struck a chord with me:
Dr. Corbett, I read the court decision. They only said you were in violation of the establishment clause for the "Peloza" comment regarding creationism being "superstitious nonsense". Every other comment which Mr. Farnan objected was deemed permissible by the court. While I completely agree with you, the court made it obvious the issue was not your critique of creationism, but the way you stated it. By disparaging the religious belief as opposed to the "logic" behind it the case had merit (albeit not much). davidnyc76 May 11, 2009 09:43 AM |

He acquits himself very well in that piece. The fact that he explained his pedagogy in the letter home to parents reinforces my earlier view that this is not simply about protecting poor Chad. If Chad needed his religious rights protected, he or his parents could have dropped the class. This lawsuit was about trying to stop critical thinking and religious and national myths.

It's the teacher's blog...his viewpoint on his statements...he lost in court on one point and he's still begging for a fight.
His point is that he's right and the kid was wrong... A judge threw out 19 of the 20 comments made by him and one stuck...if 5% pisses him off this much, I think he "pooched it" for the rest of the teachers in Califonication by pressing the matter to this point and beyond... Now, who's looking more like the idiot?

Perhaps if that's all you see from the facts and decision in this appeal, then perhaps myopia exists on both sides of the debate.

This case parallels very closely the anti-blasphemy resolution being pushed by Muslim states at the UN.

I find this very interesting using fear and intimidation as a base for a religion to control it's congregants/followers. The only thing religion does is explain death.

I have a feeling this would have happened even if this kid was in a private school.
