Attack of the Theocrats!
Our RE teacher was a fundie with an absurd bowl cut who showed us neocon videos about the dangers of Rock and Roll. I don't recall learning anything (except quite how crazy fundies are), though I do remember Viz running an article about standards of graffiti in R.E. textbooks in 2002 or so. They were slipping, apparently.
There was another guy who taught us a few words of ancient Greek and their significance, which was kind of interesting-- though I've forgotten the details it probably helped spur me to learn the Greek alphabet-- and some philosophical and logical ideas, but he was only there a couple of times.
