On the Manual biology teacher

Local news is all over this:


But there are some things that JCPS Confidential knows that they don't.

1. Carrie Shafer is a Christian and -- according to students and parents -- a young-earth creationist.

2. She was the sponsor of the Manual chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

3. She once brought in a fellow young-earth creationist to address the group.

4. She was supposed to help supervise the Manual regional science fair being held at the University of Louisvile on Saturday but never showed up. Probably because she was in jail.

5. According to students and parents, Shafer is married to Dr. Christopher Shafer, a neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville.

6. According to students, Carrie Shafer has repeatedly alleged that her husband is abusive and violent, to the point of holding a gun to her head.

7. Many students allege that Mrs. Shafer was inappropriately open with them about her personal life.

8. The principal, Larry Wooldridge, has a son who attends Manual. His son is leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter.

9. Wooldridge has ordered student media to NOT report on the story, which seems pointless given the coverage devoted to the story by local media. Someone should tell this guy that there's this website called Google, and all you have to do is type in "Carrie Shafer Manual."

  1. How in hell can you teach biology and be a young Earth creationist at the same time? The stupidity, it burns.
