Student Sues over Teacher's Offensive Comments on Christianity

A San Juan Capistrano, Calif., high school student and his parents filed a federal lawsuit this week, alleging his history teacher violated his constitutional rights by making "highly inappropriate" and offensive statements in class regarding Christianity, the Los Angeles Times reported.James Corbett, who teaches Advanced Placement European history at Capistrano Valley High School, consistently "demonstrates a sense of hostility toward religion," according to the lawsuit.The suit, which asks that Corbett be removed from the classroom, contends he told students during class that "when you put on your Jesus glasses, you can't see the truth"; said religion is not "connected with morality"; compared Christians to "Muslim fundamentalists"; and suggested churchgoers are more likely to commit rape and murder.Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said: "It's a sad fact that those who complain the loudest about any mention of Christianity or religion in public settings are also the first to hide behind the First Amendment to slander faith, morality and country, and indoctrinate our children with repulsive ideas under the ridiculous guise of 'education.'"This teacher's classroom tirades belong on a personal blog that only he and his mother will read, not masquerading as curriculum in front of impressionable teens."
