No injunction against teacher who insulted Christians, judge rules
Judge says no special measure needed to ensure teacher follows law.

SANTA ANA – A federal judge today denied a request by a Mission Viejo high school student to legally prohibit the student's former history teacher from disparaging religion during classroom lectures.
Chad Farnan, a 17-year-old senior at Capistrano Valley High School, had sought a court injunction against Advanced Placement European history teacher James Corbett, to bar the 20-year educator from "expressing any disapproval of religion while acting in his official capacity as a public school employee."
Corbett, 62, was found to have violated the First Amendment in May when he was tape-recorded by Farnan referring to Creationism as "religious, superstitious nonsense" during a fall 2007 lecture.

1. I have a problem with the title of the article

The article asserts that Corbet "insulted Christians". Lot's of Christians agree that teaching in public school so-called "Creationism" is "religious, superstitious nonsense", so implying that Corbet insulted all Christians is a bit asinine.

3. Not to mention the fact that many Xians get insulted at the drop of a hat.

2. He was just telling the truth.
