My bio teacher in high school was a hard-core snake-handling tongue-speaking nut. She was also the head of the Bible club.
Should have seen how quickly my As turned to Cs after I told her that despite her protestations, I wanted to learn about evolution and didn’t belive in creationism.
Biology teacher in public school…“Evolution is a myth that the tyrannical federal government demands I teach but first let me read you the truth about what really happened: ‘In the beginning, God created…’”
My favorite was when she gave me detention for admitting I was an atheist, after she called my mom and my mom said “So what?”. Guess she thought I was gonna get a holy beat down, imagine her disappointment.
I was 15, and it was the first time in my life that I saw someones attitude towards me completely change due to the mere fact that I didnt share their religious beliefs. First time, but sadly not the last.
How fucking fragile their beliefs must truly be if they cant even tolerate someone thinking differently than they do like, as a concept, to the point of acting like a total fucking bitch to a child from that day forward.
But…after decades more life experience…all I can say is pretty much par for the course.
Thank christ I got the fuck out of the Bible belt. I no longer live somewhere were institutionalized bigotry is so widely accepted. Like, for example, the time I was threatened with physical violence by a cop after being spotted walking home from the gas station with a Marilyn Manson tshirt only a few months after my Bio teacher crashed out when confronted with my atheism.
Haha some parent had a spectacular meltdown at my school the day after Columbine because my friend was wearing a MM shirt. Fuck these people they’re the same in every generation. They got a disease.

Depending on where this took place she was definitely playing the odds on you getting beaten. Bless her heart.

People are laughing but that’s a direct verbatim quote.
I took several minutes of my life to transcribe that as precisely as possible
