I shall keep my opinions about the primitive nature of Florida very quiet out of respect for my good friends Seacat and Te999. Otherwise, I would wax all SoCali on the issue.

If I had been the teacher I would had explained that even if Pat Robertson said it, the kids should know that not every Preacher was made equal, and all are fallible, which means you have to weight different stories from more than one source, achieve a consensus and then you approach the truth better.
I would have explained that this was a story made up after the Haiti Revolution, by the French. Those pitiful losers who lost half of Hispaniola to a slave revolt. This made the Froggies very mad and so they dreamed the story up to prove that they "couldn't have won against the forces of Darkness."
Then hopefully they might ask, "But Teacher, Who could win against the Devil?"
"A good question, but not in our curriculum, ask your folks." I eyed them, "But we can learn a great deal of soft science from this.
First, you have to separate what you think you know, from what you understand the facts of. You can find lots of things that you know, because some one told you, or you read it. And for a lot of the time that is probably all you need to know, because you don't think about breeding habits of newts much.
But let of family of newts invade your garden and the dog starts bringing in half a newt a day. Then you care and need the knowledge. I want you to know how to find and also how to evaluate what you find, because a lot of what you might find on the net or in books is nothing more than the rantings of people out to sell something."
