Union defends 'anti-Christian' teacher

A federal judge has allowed the California Teachers Association to become involved in a case that accuses a high school history teacher of making anti-Christian remarks during class time.The judge allowed the teacher's union to defend the Capistrano School District and high school history teacher, Dr. James Corbett. The school and the teacher are being sued by Chad Farnan, a student in Dr. Corbett's Advanced Placement European history class. According to the lawsuit, Dr. Corbett encouraged students to remove their "Jesus glasses" so they could see the truth.Robert Tyler, general counsel with Advocates for Faith & Freedom, says the action by the teacher's union is deplorable."The California Teachers Association has jumped in on the side of this teacher who was preaching atheism to tenth-grade students at a public high school, in a class titled 'European History,' and teaching things that have nothing to do with European history," Tyler contends. According to Tyler, this particular case is unique-and he says his group is drawing the proverbial line in the sand."If it's not appropriate or if it's supposedly unconstitutional to speak in a positive fashion about God in public schools, then you certainly cannot speak in a negative fashion about God in public schools," he argues. "And you cannot ridicule and show hostility toward Christianity or other faiths in the classroom,'"Tyler adds. Farnan recorded many of Dr. Corbett's rants on a digital recorder. The lawsuit accuses the teacher of violating his students' First Amendment rights.
