It's funny 'cause it's true. Thanks for that.

I have a friend who is a high school history teacher. Since he can't teach every section, a different teacher teaches the extra section. If you get him, you will learn that the moon landing was faked.

Please don't just let the story sit like that. Please say "He's been reprimanded" or "He always complains in the teachers' lounge about how the kids just laugh in his face and start talking amongst themselves whenever he says that" or "Parents keep complaining" or "Penn & Teller made fun of him on their show a while back" or "Wait, my mistake, I'm thinking of Dale Gribble." Please.

He hasn't been reprimanded -- he truly believes it was faked. He has tenure, making him very unfireable. The only kicker I can give you is he ran for local government. As a libertarian. Someone who is against a public good, drawing his salary from a public good.

I pay these peoples' salaries as well, despite the fact I don't agree with what's being taught.

The moon landing very well may have been faked, or it may not have been. While I'm not necessarily taking a stance on either side of that issue; I think high schoolers are old enough to make that kind of decision for themselves.

OK, we're going pretty far afield here, but I'm willing to keep this line of discussion going to a point. Exactly who gets to decide that the moon landing "may very well have been faked"? And how do high schoolers get to make the decision for themselves that this piece of history being taught to them in school is true, and that piece of history being taught to them in school is false? There are still people today who will say that the earth is flat. Is there a side of THAT issue you want to take a stance on?

A legitimate discussion about something like the origin of the universe is one thing. But teaching bizarre conspiracy theories as absolute fact is simply unconscionable, and tenure or not, something really ought to be done about that.

You mean to tell me that the world was made by Chuck Lorre & Bill Prady?

S/he is, but goes by the name Ivoryface.

I dare say this nawidfan01 makes even LESS sense.

Does he show the motion picture Capricorn One to the class to support his belief?
True, the movie was about a faked trip to Mars, but he could still say, "You see? You see? It's that simple!".
