Is it a violation of religious rights to mark a student as wrong for saying Earth is 10k years old?

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Any teacher worth his salt would think of a better, more specific question to ask on a test.

A more interesting issue is about the religious freedom of teachers.  My husband was recently telling me about a high school biology teacher he had (in rural Mississippi) who refused to say the word "evolution" and instead used the word "adaptation" in notes/tests.  Refusing to say the word is silly, but do you think she should be allowed to do such, Fergie? 

Teachers shouldn't let personal issues get in the way, as you deplorables constantly remind us any time a teacher is suspended over accidentally mentioning her wife to 2nd graders in passing.

So the street goes both ways?  Do teachers have freedom of speech or not?

They should teach what is factual, but they can say whatever they want after. Just wouldn't be good for their career. Freedom of speech, not freedom of consequences.
