Nothing's gonna change my mind on that. I've spent years dealing with the "do as I say not as I do" approach to Christianity and it irks me for the people that really do try their hardest to remember what Jesus had to say about how to treat others.

Like the snake said to the man he bit, "You knew what I was when you first picked me up." Don't go to/be employed by a school that espouses certain beliefs with a degree of rigidity and expect to get a pass if you get busted.
I don't think this kind of Christianity is very Christian either, but I'm guessing at some point the school's policies threw someone else under the bus for this or that and this teacher didn't say squat.
