During his eight days as a part-time biology teacher at Sisters High School, Kris Helphinstine included Biblical references in material he provided to students and gave a PowerPoint presentation that made links between evolution, Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood.

Eight days? It's not like he was a teacher for a whole year and after teaching regular curriculum he made an attempt to get them thinking outside the box. He started his propaganda from day one.

Teaching critical thinking. Very slimy attempt.

My history teacher taught us critical thinking by getting us to argue social issues but NOT religion. It's off limits for very obvious reasons.
