I go to a super catholic school. If the director found out about the contents of the book, or if the sisters did, my teacher could be in big trouble.
Out of curiosity, how does your school deal with like evolution in biology? (idk is there evolution in biology?)

also what is your library like lol, is it really restricted?
what would happen if you wrote your essay about sex lol

We do bio by distance ed, we have to do evolution, before that however the sisters give us 'evidence' against it, and popular lies that are told about it.

Do you do it by distance so they don't have to hire a teacher who has to say the opposite?
Edit: what about physics, and the big bang?

Nah, the science teacher he has health issues, and the school didn't want to put the stress of a senior class on him, he is actually really smart and dedicated to his work as a science teacher though.
My school won't actually hire a teacher unless they are a trusted practicing catholic, hence we are down 2 teachers this year. I am pretty sure we are getting a new teacher next year though.

Oh, such schools do exist. My apologist friends have been lying to me after all. Thanks :)

Now I have a specific counterexample to any of their "science and religion are compatible" arguments.

In apologetics the teacher was saying tell people "were catholics, we like science"

honestly, I am too scared to argue with the apologetics teacher because I feel like regardless of whatever stance I took on anything he would just shred me

Can we swap? <3

At least you're not doing Pride and Prejudice + Letters to Alice. Probs 1819731 times worse.

Plus bc girls' school, teachers do a super feminist reading of it and mod a was pretty much all just man-bashing like wtf can you not .-.

^ this also happened in my ee1 class when we did dracula, back when we had one dude in the class. Awkward af.

I smell a No True Scotsman Fallacy.

i.e. if you point out a Catholic who doesn't like science, he would assert "Person X is not a TRUE Catholic"

It's similar to moving the goalposts.

The person making the assertation is called a conservative catholic.

Omg same! Except for my English Extension class I was/am the only male in the class... So there was a lot of that but I just went with it, still doesn't mean I enjoyed Dracula though.

Lol only white women preach about feminism
But they're really just bashing on men haha
(Tho there are inspiring feminist figures out there, these teachers at my school are certainly not one of them)
They usually say something along the default lines of "we believe men and women should be equal blah blah blah" to justify their means.
Then proceed to victimize women lol

It's like the set formula in feminazis speeches, tfw i have to sit through a solid hour of this bs in assemblies sometimes

Tbh I wanted to kill myself as well for the first hour or so but once you can appreciate the story that Lang builds upon you can really appreciate why Metropolis is one of the best rated sci-fi films of all time.
