Reminds me of when Lily Tomlin in 9 to 5 said, ‘ I’ve killed the boss, you think they’re not gonna fire me for a thing like that?’ Lol.

The fire was put out before the teacher received burns to her skin.

Thank God for that!

More and more this country just seems to be filled with pure evil.

The founders intended the public schools to reflect the values and ethics of the citizens who are served by the school. Unfortunately, for the most part they do.

We have got a citizen problem.

Look at all the “socialization” the home schoolers are missing.

Agree. I wonder if any state in the Old Northwest ever defended public encouragement of religion based on that enabling statute.

“The Founders never intended government or the public schools to be secular.”

So you contend that they intended to found a theocracy?

So, you’re asserting a dichotomy that we either have no religious values as the basis of our society,

or we have a theocracy?

I lived in K-town for a couple of years. At least until 2010, West High was a good school in a decent neighborhood.
