A Wake County, North Carolina high school biology teacher is being criticized for publishing an anti-public school diatribe in a home-schooling magazine, WTVD reports.

Fuquay-Varina High School biology teacher Ray Fournier never mentions his employer by name in the article, instead referring to the school at which he teaches as “a concentration camp dedicated to the spiritual death of those imprisoned behind these walls.”

He claims to be “a missionary masquerading as one of the ‘guards’…an eyewitness to the daily indoctrination and spiritual torture that is inflicted upon those who have been sentenced to come here by their own well meaning [sic] parents.”

Fournier complains that “evolution based [sic] science classes,” like the one the school district hired him to teach, “discredit the reliability of the Bible and get rid of God as Creator.”

“History classes,” he continues, “get rid of God as Sovereign King and demonize Christianity. English classes reinforce this message through the literature they assign their students to read,” although he provides no concrete examples of how they do so.

“This deliberate indoctrination encourages students to break each and every one of the Ten Commandments,” he writes, which leads “countless numbers of our own children down the broad road to spiritual destruction.”

As an example of where that road leads, Fournier recounted a story about a family who failed to heed his warnings about public schools. “I warned them about the spiritual dangers of public education, but sadly they ignored my warning,” he wrote. “It was as if their daughters where [sic] placed inside a spiritual gas chamber. It didn’t take long for the poison to take effect. Within a year’s time, one of them even became a lesbian.”

After an initial backlash, Fournier apologized for the analogy, writing that “in retrospect, it was not wise for me to use the analogy of concentration camps and the holocaust to illustrate the loss of millions of children from Christian homes to the world.”

However, many in the Fuquay-Varina High School community are still calling for him to resign or be fired, but Wake County Public School System spokesperson Lisa Luten told ABC 11 that the school is standing by its biology teacher pending a further investigation.
