The evils of high technology.


Apparently, that "not bearing false witness" stuff is overrated:

... After two weeks, a meeting took place in the principal's office, wherein [history teacher] Paszkiewicz denied making many of these [offensive and demeaning] comments, claiming that [student Matthew] LaClair had taken his remarks out of context. Paszkiewicz specifically denied using the phrase, "you belong in hell." He also asserted that he did nothing different in this class than he has been doing in fifteen years of teaching.

At the end of the meeting, LaClair revealed that he had recorded the remarks, and presented the principal with two compact discs. The teacher then declined to comment further without his union representative.

And those video cameras? Yeah, they're tools of the Devil, too. And don't even get me started on YouTube.

Re : not bearing false witness
As a commenter over there pointed out, "truth" is an in-house affair for the fungelicals - it isn't a sin if they're only lying to us heathens. Using this logic, they also expect to sidestep any charge of hypocrisy.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious here - it was a new one on me.
