[quote=Anonymous]You don't have to discuss your views of religion (or your politics for that matter) in a lesson discussing these things. And you should not. I teach the same grade level and I have to dodge all types of questions, and really it isn't hard. It isn't your perogative to discuss your personal views in a classroom- it is your job to present the information, the issues, the questions...but clearly you already knew this and the question from the student really surprised you because of the source.

Isn't it interesting that this is really a staff issue? There clearly was an ulterior motive on the part of that teacher who decided to use you as an example in a lesson. I have to say, I have been pretty surprised over the years with the provincial nature of how religion seeps it's way into my educational work environment, so your situation was not a surprise for me. I am only surprised that apparently this isn't only my situation. You would think educators would have it more together. I'm sorry that this happened to you- it is a form of harrassment.[/quote]
