If a college writing teacher behaves in such a manner you get a good idea as to their general thinking skills.

Change classes, adjust responses to fit need (to be a martyr or to get out with a good grade) and complain when you are safe or ready to go down with your ship..

***Exactly. And it is these people who teach our kids about science and evolution. The issue before us is whether they should be teaching ID, and a side issue to that is that they don't seem competent to be teaching in the first place.

***Very well put. My response at the time was full of cowardice, I decided to get out with a good grade. Now I am "complaining when I am safe. " I may have as much impact on policy as she did. When teachers overreach their authority, they're wrong. I see evolution as a philosophy based upon science. It is more suitable for a philosophy class, where ID could be taught as well, and astrology too, if it has enough basis. At this point I don't see the harm of teaching them side by side.
