Today, I received another death threat for teaching evolution in college. I'm a geology teacher. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML
Today, we were discussing evolution at the super-religious school I'm forced to attend. I mentioned homo sapiens, and my teacher mockingly replied, "You actually believe in homo sapiens? Hahahah!" The whole class started laughing. No, not at the teacher; at me. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, I received a death threat from some nutball accusing me of being part of some big government conspiracy called "Haarp." According to this psycho, I'm responsible for causing the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma. I'm just a small-time weatherman. FML
Today, I had environmental science class. My teacher doesn't believe humans are affecting climate change or that we should protect endangered species. He slants class discussions so now all my classmates agree with him. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, I got paper thrown at me because I didn't agree with my classmate's conspiracy theory that Brian Griffin's death was planned by the illuminati. FML
Today, I was sitting in social studies and someone threw a note at me. It said "Go fuck yourself, everyone hates you, just die." FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Which is all the more reason to teach evolution, given how many people still don't get it.

Just goes to show you how utterly insane religion is, when they say "Love thy neighbor", and then threaten to kill you for teaching scientific fact.

You should come to class one day and say "god created rocks" then just leave

At least someone is paying attention to your lectures. Not all instructors can say the same

This stuff still goes on? I didn't know people were still THAT religious, if the death threat was from really religious people.

It always makes me laugh when people think that saying the earth is millions of years old is against Christianity. It's not. The old testament was not originally written in English (I believe it was Hebrew) and the word used for "day" is the same word used for "era of time." This means it is completely plausible that the earth is millions of years old. And being a Christian also doesn't mean you can't believe in evolution. It just simply means you believe the "trigger" for evolution was a work of God. Get educated, people.

Maybe you should teach that course you were thinking of teaching earlier 'Rise of the Retard Zombie society a Geographical Perspective'.
