Atheists Pressure Indiana School to Remove Teacher's Religious/Political Propaganda [View all]

https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2019/09/17/atheists-pressure-in-school-to-remove-teachers-religious-political-propaganda/

A couple of weeks ago, the Northern Indiana Atheists voiced their concerns about a local public school teacher who was allegedly promoting his political and religious agenda in the class. As they explained it, Mike Hosinski, a World Civilizations teacher at Jimtown High School in Elkhart, had violated all sorts of rules in the classroom. They had three families with students in the school who were willing to join their complaint.

...

Then there’s what he allegedly said in class, according to one of the families:

… Hosinski told the class Hillary and Obama are criminals, President Donald Trump is great, and Democrats are liars. He told them abortion should be illegal. My student says ‘he told the class Bill Clinton’s friend takes little girls to a sex island and anyone who finds out is killed. Korea has nukes, something about Muslims taking over, and something about gay people getting married…

When Hosinski said poor people don’t have jobs but spend money on alcohol and drugs, my student, feeling the need to defend our family, said “I’m poor. My dad has a job and my parents don’t spend money on alcohol or drugs.”


A former student also told NIA that Hosinski “showed us cartoon slides of a partial birth abortion.” (Why that would ever be relevant in the classroom, I have no idea.)
