Kearny High preacher teacher uses classroom to condemn non-Christians

This is just nuts. I had a teacher in high school who was incredibly religious, a chemistry teacher, but at least he kept his faith out of the classroom. We'd see him walking around town after school hours carrying signs proclaiming God's glory, but in class he stuck to the material and never got into religion with anyone. He was a great chemistry teacher.

KEARNY - A Kearny High School student has accused a history teacher of crossing the line between teaching and preaching - and he's got the tapes to prove it.

Sixteen-year-old junior Matthew LaClair says he was shocked when history teacher David Paszkiewicz, who is also a Baptist preacher in town, spent the first week lecturing students more about Heaven and Hell than the colonies and Constitution.

"I would never have suspected something like this went on in a public school," LaClair said yesterday.

He said Paszkiewicz told students that if they didn't accept Jesus, "you belong in Hell." He also dismissed as unscientific the theories of evolution and the "Big Bang."

Paszkiewicz, a teacher at the high school since 1992, didn't return phone messages left for him at the high school; school principal Al Somma declined to comment.

It's interesting that the "morally superior" types will usually lie, cheat, and/or steal to avoid facing the facts about their behavior. This teacher lied when confronted and only the recordings allowed the truth to get out. True religious humility requires the honesty this sort of believer wouldn't understand and couldn't practice.
yes the religious right condems the Dixie Chicks for opening their mouth , however they cannot keep their traps shut.
