I have been working on a remodel of a high school and the other day I was passing a classroom and heard the teacher to say " It is ok to kill but only if you know your views and beliefs are right and You feel the other 99% of the population is wrong" I stood by the door and listened a little more and the teacher was teaching basicly that you can't end violence so you might as well use it to your advantage. I told the office what I heard and they say that is well in school guidlines I also told the districts super what I heard and he also said it is in district guidlines and even if it wasn't they couldn't do nothing without censoring the teacher and violating her rights and risking a suit,
My question to you isn't this just teaching hate and criminal activity without consequences towards the teacher?

Sounds like you talked to everyone except the person you should--the teacher. Ask him/her what the lesson objective was and how the overheard statement contributed to achieving that objective.

It's likely the teacher was playing devil's advocate. The fact that he/she threw in the "99% of the population is wrong" to me suggests he/she was trying to point out the irrationality of that argument. Had you been in the class during the whole conversation, you might have a better understanding of exactly what the teacher was trying to say. Then again, maybe not. My husband has played devil's advocate in his class many a time, and some of the students are simply too dense and take things too literally.

It depends entirely on the context in which this teacher was saying this. If he/she was using it to explain the beliefs of another culture or time period, then yes it's okay to say that. If he/she was just making that statement from his/her point of view, then no...it's not okay. If he/she was making an argument or playing devil's advocate, then again- it's okay to say something like that. It's really about the context in which the statement was made.

As I just told another person on the internet a few minutes ago, our public school system is a shame; considering what sin is being committed in our schools; and it is not all done by the students. Most certainly, it is a sin to kill, as we are told in the Word of God. It is one of the Ten Commandments which God gave unto Moses in the Book of Exodus. Most certainly, the teacher is wrong in teaching such as you have described; and they will most certainly stand before God one day to give account of such actions, if they do not repent of their sins, and ask for God's forgiveness. But do not be surprized. For today on our news broadcasts, we hear of rapes in our schools by teachers, and every kind of molestation. Most certainly, this nation needs to turn back to God, before He brimgs sudden destruction upon us. So many think that He would never do such, but his Word tells us that the wages of sin is death. (Rom. 6:23) My advise is to make certain that Jesus is the Savior and Lord of your life, and pray desperately for our nation.

The States that have the Death Penalty believe it, Why do they have the Death Penalty if it was not true.
