Seems you've already done as much to the instructor and everyone else in the class.

Well, as to the instructor, it seems reasonable to infer that he was a Darwinist giving instruction to his "pupils" with regard to Darwinist theory. As for the rest of the class, I cannot characterize them. If they're students, however, they are probably at the mercy of the instructor....

All I know is that one person in that room objected to the "instruction": the young lady who has so far drawn a considerable amount of scorn on this thread.

But certainly not from me.

I don't have impute any motive to the young lady at all to simply recognize that she may have been the only person in the room at the time who was troubled by the instruction. And it seems to me she had good logical grounds on which to object....

FWIW.

The only information I've seen about what the instructor was teaching was that it was about the mating behavior of peacocks. Can you please tell me why that is objectionable?

As far as the woman being treated scornfully, I don't think that has anything to do with the fact that she disageed with ToE, but with her means of expressing it. We have our disagreements, but if either of us expressed them in the manner and terms this woman did in the classroom I think we'd be justifiably banned/suspended and given a well deserved pounding by the forum membership for it.
