>>> “a concentration camp dedicated to the spiritual death of those imprisoned behind these walls.” >>>>

Before I retired, I used the "educational North Korea" analogy to describe the atmosphere that blew into the classroom with the gray dawn of the academically incoherent Obama/Duncan era.

Note: header is subtly misleading: Fournier didn't say *Nazi* concentration camps. And he is explicit... in the quote.. that he is talking about SPIRITUAL.... not PHYSICAL ....death.

Additionally, the sentence fragments attributed to him re. evolution to him could be... and very likely ARE ... part of a longer and more nuanced treatment of the issue.

In other words: not enough info here. More info needed.

Put away those torches and pitchforks. At least for now.
