Comment That was my science teacher. (Score 1) 585
I have nothing to add to this thread except to note that Kent Hovind was my science teacher for about four months in middle school. He taught standard middle school science -- "Memorize the bones of the human skeleton" that kind of stuff. The course didn't get into any of his "special" areas. My original science teacher was called back to the National Zoo to tend to the giant octopus shortly after the second semester began, and Hovind was brought in as a long-term sub.
In person he can be very charismatic, as you might imagine. But he, like a lot of folks here in Pensacola, has some pretty interesting ideas about the legal system and the running of the government. As everyone knows, Christian Conspiracy Theory can go down the rabbit hole a long way (we have people who believe that CIty/County Charter Government is a tool of the United Nations). So, it wouldn't surprise me if he and his family's opinions about copyright law were also interesting.
That said, remember that a work is copyrighted at creation these days (for the last decade or so) and just because you casually claim that your work isn't copyrighted doesn't necessarily make it so without some legalese.
