That's a sound logical argument that immediately exposes her hypocrisy, and it didn't occur to me to bring it up back then.
I totally would have, though. She caused a lot of problems due to her poor and biased teaching. I never understood the purpose of English classes back then, so I always asked a lot of questions that inevitably made her look bad. By the end of that class, she absolutely hated me and was marking my assignments worse than other people's, even when the criteria was purely objective. My father had to schedule a meeting with the Principal to get her to stop.
Or maybe she didn't teach the Book of Mormon partially because it obviously has zero literary merit. Every passage from it that I've read sounds like a person with an eighth grade education who is trying to sound like the King James version of the bible. I mean, "smite" (or smote) is a cool sounding word for a middle schooler, so a middle schooler who was trying to write a new book of the bible might use that word way more often than makes sense.
