How do we discuss the Spanish Inquisition without discussiing biblical references that justified it? Oh. We just say the Spanish Inquisition is evil - completely ignore reasons why? Any discussion without underlying reasons is nothing more than propaganda. How would we discuss this logically without details - those Biblical references?

How do you discuss religious propaganda verse Nazi propaganda verses science of evolution when not including biblical references that are used as propaganda?

Nothing here says what the teacher did was for a logical discussion. School board actions imply otherwise. But we don't make decisions based in summary judgements. We make decisions based upon 'reasons why'. We have from that news article 'no reasons'. We have only enough to speculate two completely different conclusions. From those facts in a classic 'Daily News' type report, both incompatible conclusions are correct. That just cannot be. Newspaper facts are woefully insufficient for anything but wild speculation.

Only facts provided: 1) school board decision, 2) parent viewed power point slides, and 3) references were made to Bible quotes. We don't even know what those quotes were. IOW we have near zero information to make a decision about the teacher's intents.
