Religion Rules

Read the clip - I don't know what else there is to say about human stupidity, despite the potential for intelligence, that hasn't already been said by someone.

A community college instructor in Red Oak claims he was fired after he told his students that the biblical story of Adam and Eve should not be
literally interpreted.

Steve Bitterman, 60, said officials at Southwestern Community College sided with a handful of students who threatened legal action over his remarks in a western civilization class Tuesday. He said he was fired
Thursday.

"I'm just a little bit shocked myself that a college in good standing would back up students who insist that people who have been through college and have a master's degree, a couple actually, have to teach that there were such things as talking snakes or lose their job," Bitterman said.
