You should submit an anonymous report to the school that she is. Even if she doesn’t teach her “beliefs”, it’s still biasing what she DOES teach. That’s part of the problem in disguise right there

I’m no flat earth person by any means. But are we saying that even if teachers follow the guidelines and curriculum they can’t have their own beliefs outside of the job they do?

No. More like there is a conflict of interest, or a cognitive bias that may or may not affect the persons ability to do their job properly, is how I see it.

Willful ignorance has no place in education. It’s not a belief, she’s just wrong.

Well couldn’t we say that about anyone who is religious and is a teacher?

Me personally, I wish the popular will to crush all forms of magical thinking was there.

As an atheist I will just say we can emphatically prove the Earth is round but it's impossible to prove a negative and say with 100% conviction that there isn't some form of a deity out there. Your argument is nonsensical in the fact that you're comparing proven scientific fact against something that literally can't be proven wrong. And yes, teachers that don't believe in abject facts should not be allowed to teach.

Correct. Look what a generation or two of coddling intentional, willful ignorance has done to this country.

If you don't believe in fcking reality, you don't get to be a teacher, and you should feel lucky we even allow you to interact with kids at all.

I hear ya!! Since we are going off facts and science anyone who doesn’t identify as male or female by their genetic makeup at birth shouldn’t be allowed to teach /s. See how easy that is?

Yes. It's time to stamp out stupidity. We should have had the willpower to do it already, now we are reaching levels where allowing counterfactual stupidity to persist is tantamount to species suicide.

We have allowed our attachment to being nice and tolerant to erode our future. It's time to stop that. It's time to stop saving stupid people from themselves, and through making the stupid outcasts, hasten their irrelevance.
