Biblical Interpretation Leads to Firing of Iowa Instructor

. . . from the associated press: "A college instructor in Red Oak claims he was fired after he told his students that the biblical story of Adam and Eve is a fairy tale and should not be interpreted literally.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A college instructor in Red Oak claims he was fired after he told his students that the biblical story of Adam and Eve is a fairy tale and should not be interpreted literally.

Steve Bitterman, 60, said officials at Southwestern Community College sided with a handful of students who threatened legal action over his remarks in a western civilization class."

It seems to me that community colleges in general are more conservative than the four year institutions -- probably because community colleges derive more directly from K-12. Free speech is alway an issue.
