Dr. Corbett

At a high school in my area, an AP European History teacher is being sued. He is being sued over some statements that he made in the class. They include phrases such as, "When you put on your Jesus glasses, you can't see the truth," and other similar statements. A kid named Chad Farnan is sueing because he says that these outbursts offended him. However, in a radio interview, the kid didn't even know which church he went to or what his religious sect was called. He only knew that he was "Christian," but could not pronounce "non-denominational." This sophmore claims to be "very devout," but doesn't know what he's devoted to!!!

Meanwhile, a teacher with a life, family, and steady job is under a lot of stress because he must deal with the possibility that all that may be taken away from him. Dr. James Corbett, the teacher, teaches an advanced course with a very high pass rate. The principal, Tom Ressler, said that Dr. Corbett has a pass rate of 2/3 on the AP exam, which is higher than the national average. This teacher obviously knows his stuff, and complaints have been made in the past, so this teaching style has been in use -- and working -- for a while.
