Can I use this thread to talk about teachers who were really stupid? Not ones that I disliked or were bad teachers, just the ones that you would be better forgetting the lessons they taught?

One of my primary school teachers was a charming and funny man, except when it came to religeon. He was a devout catholic. Our local chapel was one of those modern art disasters, a grey oval building with a moat and a flat roof. The roof leaked constantly. I know some people who had fallen into the moat and hurt themselves, one of them was my mother. My teacher once said in class that the architect should be put on trial and hanged. I don't think he was joking.

He lived with his parents and some of his siblings and they were even more crazy. Forget about tattoos, piercings and hair dye - those people would flip out at the sight of a man who wasn't clean shaved. And I guarantee there was a picture of a long haired, bearded guy in every room of their house (Jesus).

It was a real shame about that guys brother. He was a closeted gay man and not religeous at all. He spent his life alone, never finding love and drank himself into human wreckage feeling shame that he shouldn't.
