The court found that virtually every statement Corbett made, when read in context, did not disparage religion, but was appropriate for teaching students "about European history, current world events, and deductive reasoning in preparation for the AP European history exam," even though several of the comments offended the religious beliefs of some students.
But the court also held that a single statement by Corbett, a member of the California Teachers Association, did violate the Establishment Clause. Ironically, that statement referred to Peloza's lawsuit. In discussing that case, Corbett stated that the biblical creationism story is "religious, superstitious nonsense."
