Matthew LaClair is a student in public high school in Kearny, New Jersey.
David Paszkiewicz is his 11th grade accelaerated history teacher.
Paszkiewicz would often lace his classes with — well — historical inaccuracies, including telling the students that only Christians went to heaven, that the Big Bang and evolution were false, and — wait for it — that dinosaurs were aboard Noah’s Ark.
For example, this is, verbatim, something that Paszkiewicz said in class to his students:
“If you reject his gift of salvation, then you know where you belong …He did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sins on his own body, suffered your pains for you, and he’s saying, ‘Please, accept me, believe.’ If you reject that, you belong in hell.”
Interesting history class, eh?
We know what Mr. Paszkiewicz said this because Matthew St. Clair recorded him for several weeks, and then complained to the school board. Although the school board took "corrective action" against the teacher, Matthew is being given a hard time for what he did, which was — basically — supporting the Constitution.
