hysterical:

Sharon Lemburg, a social studies teacher and soccer coach who taught "Philosophy of Design," defended the course in a letter to the weekly Mountain Enterprise. "I believe this is the class that the Lord wanted me to teach," she wrote.

hmm, can't see why the school board backed down...

can you imagine being on this nutters soccer team? the team prayers,
the sanctification of a goal scored, the demonization of the opponent, the hysterical/manic glorification of a good header, the martial mindset, the martyred defeat following a noble yet flawed mission,, the everpresent banality of a religious narcissist.

I bet her and her hubby had grandiose plans for the conversion of the many during her idiotic yet thankfully short-lived tenure as a teacher. Probably planned to really up the building fund at
their church by the induction of the newbies.

A slate of tears consumed the house when their plans were voted down. I bet her and the preacher prayed,, knowing of the treachery of the liberals who engineered their defeat.

This would make a worthwhile skit on SNL. I'd set it in Texas.
Call it 'prarie chapel blues'.

Sightunseen--

In Junior High, our parochial school played in a league in which all of the other teams were Evangelicals. Most of the kids were normal, but every team had a few that fit your stereotype.

One kid used to yell "Thank you, Jesus!" every time he made a basket. One of our guys yelled "Screw you, Jesus!" when he missed a shot, leading to a technical foul and a lot of arguing and shouting, and a phone call to our rector from the pastor at the other school. This phone call turned angry, and it's said it ended with our rector shouting, "We don't go in for that Jesus Jumper crap at St. Michael's" before banging down the phone.

What makes this even more interesting is that Fresno is in the heart of California's bible belt.
