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!

So why are you teaching evolution when you're a geology teacher?

Get the hell out dude sounds like a serious misrepresentation of your demographic, simply because you don't fall into the death-threat-sending part of the American population. FYL

OP, my deepest thanks for putting your life on the line (again!) to teach science. It's scary that the crazies who used to threaten elementary and high school teachers are now threatening college teachers, too. But when one of the two major US presidential nominees claims not to believe in evolution (on live camera!), I guess crazy has gotten crazier.

That's what you get for trying to teach science in Florida. It's Baptist country down here.

Some Christian dude inferred that God created everything around 4004 B.C. by taking dates in the Bible coupled with other historical documents. This is what most Christians cite as proof for saying the Earth is only 6,000 yrs old. The OP is probably getting death threats because geology is based on Earth's formation over time from 4.5 million years ago. This conflict gets their panties in a twist.

honestly I'm a Christian but if that is your job I wouldn't be mad at you. everyone is allowed to have their own views. I do apologize that there are people like this. know there are good Christians out there.

It is disturbing how many Americans seem to think "A Handmaid's Tale" is a project plan, not a warning.
