I take it the faculty didn't appreciate you not falling in line with the brainwashed sheep eh?
Not at all. It seems that "Why" is a question your not supposed to ask in school.

I'd imagine there would be a fair bit of disagreement between Christian educators and a Jewish student. [/quote]
I DID tell you I got to spend two weeks in detention for arguing with a teacher right? I said something and he muttered "Dirty Jew or Damned Jew" or somesuch. I asked what the guy on his cross was, a Jew or Gentile.
Busted.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.
Back when I was in secondary school, I got kicked out of religion class for arguing with the teacher. Ah, the good old days.

Since we seem to be into school reminisces, there was one time I managed to piss off the female half of the class, including the teacher, by describing Emmeline Pankhurst as "the Osama bin Laden of the early 20th century". Didn't quite get kicked out, but the spluttering and foul looks I got were pretty funny.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

I was once awarded a failing grade on a project in a literature class (taught by a feminazi - that bit is important) for saying that the Iliad was not, in fact, a misogynist manifesto, considering the fact that the described treatment of women as trophies of war was actually the norm for the day of both the narrative and of the intended audience.

Threre's enough hypocrisy to go around all sides of the argument Lighhawk. Pieces of the "Ark" from Ararat have been showing up since what, the late fifties, early sixties? It got a big boost with that "CIA" aerial photograph of a "boat shaped shadow under the ice" on the mountain.

Thankfully, I've not had the misfortune of running into such "teachers". I can't stand people twisting facts to try and promote their chose ideology.
