Public School Fact: Religious Student doesn't believe in Darwinism = F in class
This is a repeat of another post of mine, let's say a student taking a science test on Darwin's theory of evolution turns the paper back, blank, and says "my religion and heritage teaches me differently. There are no correct choices on this exam".
Would you agree this senario would result in an F on the exam?
"This is a repeat of another post of mine, let's say a student taking a science test on Darwin's theory of evolution turns the paper back, blank, and says "my religion and heritage teaches me differently. There are no correct choices on this exam"."
OK, let's change the scenario a bit:
The exam is in property law. The student belongs to a religion that does not recognize private property (say, Marxism/Leninism). He turns the paper back, blank, and says "my religion and heritage teaches me differently. There are no correct choices on this exam."
OK, time to grade his paper.
1. Would he fail the exam?
2. As his failure is a product of his "religion," does this not equal religious discrimination?
Do you see that there is no constitutional right to not be offended?
