North Carolina public school teacher gets five days suspension for denigrating the public school system and suggesting that it turns students gay. Oh yeah, that seems fair.

A parent in North Carolina is upset that a high school biology teacher who compared public education to Nazi death camps and attacked the theory of evolution will be allowed to continue teaching. 

Krista Bennett, a parent of a senior at Fuquay-Varina High School, told the News & Observer that she’s disappointed with the Wake County Public School System’s decision not to fire Ray Fournier over an article he published in a home-schooling magazine. 

In the article, Fournier wrote that the public school system was like “a concentration camp dedicated to the spiritual death of those imprisoned behind these walls.” The biology teacher also complained about the teaching of evolution, claiming it discredited “the reliability of the Bible” and got “rid of God as Creator,” and he said public education could turn straight kids into gay kids. 

The district announced Friday that Fournier would be suspended for five days without pay.

Okay usually I am all for tenure and teachers keeping their jobs unless they engage in criminal behavior or hurt the children in some way, but this guy needs to go.


And why is he even teaching at a public school anyhow?

North Carolina has a number of private religious schools and I am sure any one of them would love to have his homophobic fundamentalist ass.
