Your basic public school.

I think I can guess.

Either way it sounds like your teacher went overboard but it's hardly a reason to become paranoid about the teaching of religion in general.
Well that's the problem with teachers. They're human.

I had a high school history teacher who insisted that Mary Tudor was known as "Mary, Queen of Scots". She absolutely refused, complete with the threat of having me suspended for arguing, to accept that she was wrong.

If a high school teacher can do that, what is to protect an impressionable child from having his teachers religion forced down his throat as 'correct'?
Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard.
