Atlanta biology teacher: Evolution from Satan and the cause of racism, divorce, gay people

Students in a freshman biology class in Atlanta’s Grady High School were shown a PowerPoint presentation that linked evolution to Satan, abortion, divorce, racism, and homosexuality.

The Grady High student newspaper, the Southerner, reported that Anquinette Jones used the PowerPoint presentation to teach the theory of evolution to her students during a freshman biology class last spring.

One slide in the 52-slide presentation included an illustration that shows creationism and evolution as two sides in a war between good and evil. Creationism is shown to be from Christ, while evolution is from Satan. The illustration suggests evolution is the driving force behind euthanasia, homosexuality, pornography, abortion, divorce, and racism — social ills that are all defeated by creationism and Christianity.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted the PowerPoint presentation also includes “grammatical errors and odd illustrations including a photo of Octomom,” along with the creationism picture.

1. Dogma and bigotry in it's purest form

How do take all of the fallacies and all of the error types that are the exact opposite of learning and teaching, and then want to enter the teaching field, and then actually do it?

Someone dropped the ball, big time.

3. dogma yes, bigotry?

just googled her picture and she appears Hispanic or maybe from Michelle Malkins old home. Needs to fired right now. The cowardliness for the RW "political correctness" like their wacko religion is holding America back. I use the word cowardly because this is not about tolerance, its about standing up to their intolerance.

Go teach religion, get out of science.

10. Bigoted against gay people.

She is openly bigoted.

[etherealtruth]

2. Was this imbecile fired?

[JHB]

4. The cartoon is also insulting to most Christians

The descriptions in the Rawstory and the AJC stories miss an important nuance.

Not just a war, but Evolution is the foundation of the "Satan" bastion, while Creation(ism) is the foundation of the "Christ" bastion. Those flying the Humanism flag are relentlessly concentrating their fire on the foundation of the opposing bastion, while those flying the Christianity flag are pointing their cannons everywhere else: one popping the distracting balloons above the satanist bastion (with one of their infernal number inflating a new one to take the place of each one lost), one firing in the wrong direction entirely, and one aiming at the balloon-popper on his own side.

So it's even insulting to Christians: most Christians don't regard creationism as the foundation of their faith. Their faith is not undermined by thinking of the creation myth as a parable rather than a history lesson.

(And once again I ask "...and why does it take an atheist to explain this?&quot

13. Satan's got balloons.

I know which side I'm rootin' for.

[nomorenomore08]

15. It's like a parody. But not. Because it's real.

*collapses and starts twitching on the floor*

[whatthehey]

19. Actually most US Christians ARE creationists

46% of the nation believes in young earth creationism. It is impossible to logically arrive at that number without including a majority of the Christians here.

5. I have long suspected

... that PowerPoint is a tool of Satan.

[Iris]

11. yes. the 52 slide presentation should be the grounds for her dismissal

[Warren DeMontague]

14. MUAHAHAA THE POWER TO POINT YOU RIGHT INTO THE FIERY FURNANCE

It's something Satan Excels at.

He uses Excel, too.

[DirkGently]

20. Excel-lent. n/t

6. Epic fail. Can't believe a biology teacher would pull that.

7. Atlanta must be so proud.

8. This. Is. Just. Not. Funny. Anymore!

By the way i wonder if this "biology teacher" is aware of the Selman case?

Selman v. Cobb County School District, 449 F.3d 1320 (11th Cir. 2006), was a United States court case in Cobb County, Georgia involving a sticker placed in public school biology textbooks. The sticker was a disclaimer stating that "Evolution is a theory, not a fact, concerning the origin of living things."[1] The plaintiffs were parents of children in Cobb County schools who claimed the sticker violated both the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution and the separation of church and state clause in the Georgia State Constitution because its purpose and effect was to cast doubt on the scientific consensus regarding evolutionary theory in order to promote religious beliefs in the schools.[2]

9. Ignorance! Yay!

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Great! Teach these kids "science"!

So when they "graduate" they can get "jobs" that pay "money"

[PowerToThePeople]

16. is it ex-biology teacher now? n/t

[Lancero]

18. This happened in Georgia...

So... nope.

[SidDithers]

17. How does someone like that even get to become a teacher?...

How do they get to stay a teacher?

21. A SCIENCE teacher. If I was a believer, I'd ask God why he wasted an education on this fool.

[L0oniX]

22. I'd have gotten up and walked out ...right to the principles office...

and file a complaint ...and threaten to go to the press with this shit ....and put me in another biology class with a good teacher.

Oh yea ...I did this to a math teacher who spent the first 15 minutes of every class talking about sports ...he was a coach too. Fuck that shit.
