I had an intro to sociology prof spend an entire lecture on full blown anti vax conspiracy shit.
Also had a bio prof take 5 during an anatomy lecture to give a teary eyed plea for the young women in class to not ruin one of the 'fundamental joys of motherhood' by getting their nipples pierced.

Not my story but from my boyfriend. In English class they were supposed to write a review about a movie. He wrote a negative one about The Last Airbender from M. Night Shyamalan.
First she argued that "iceberg" is not an english word (this took place in Germany) and that he should instead use "icy mountain" they had to look it up in a dictionary to convince her otherwise and then she took points away because "why would you write a review about something and not recommend it". -

6th grade health teacher told the class that studies show evidence of increased breast cancer risk for those that have had an abortion. This was in a suburban Illinois school.

Our physics teacher and our chemistry teacher had a pretty friendly ongoing riff on whether or not electrons exist.
We'd one side of the argument in chemistry and then parrot it to him in Physics, and he'd give us a rebuttal and we'd parrot it back to her in Chemistry.
Looking back on it, I'm pretty sure they discussed it in the staff room beforehand, but at the time it felt like a real smackdown.

I forget if it was on the day or day after, but while the events of 9/11 were unfolding or coming to light I had a social studies teacher claim the plane that crashed in the field was an attack on our agriculture.

It's a loan word from Dutch and after 200 years, it's about time you give it back.

That all women should be in the kitchen and all black people should be slaves again.
Was a very interesting English class from a black woman...

Biomedical engineering professor teaching an entire course on how DNA in its natural state is not actually a double helix and that Watson and Crick were wrong. The guy spent decades of his career after getting tenure pushing this crusade of his. It was a great class and I loved it.

Not a teacher, per se, but the senior dev on my old team once said something that left me scratching my head. We were trying to troubleshoot an inconsistent bug in our software, and I said, "Maybe it's a race condition," to which he replied, "There's no such thing."
Still trying to figure out what he meant by that.

Wait, what were the arguments for electrons not existing? And by whom? It's generally accepted that electrons exists and neither of their fields would work if they didn't. You'd have to go really deep down into "well actually, everything is a wave" terretory to even get that idea and even then it doesn't make sense.

I have 2 of the same teacher. She was an elderly history teacher and I wished I could say a good one.

She wants to watch a Columbus movie after the exams. We were pretty hyped because watching movies is chill. The movie starts and something graphical happened, she immediately skipped a couple minutes. If you have any understanding of the history of Columbus, you can see how this ends... The next graphical scenes come and go in a quick skip. At one point, Columbus was in America, Columbus did Columbus things and she skipped so far forward that he was back in Spain. And in the end, we "watched" a 2 hrs movie in 30/40 minutes. She asked how we finished the movie so quickly. I know what happened in the movie because I know history but I don't know the movie at all.

It is summer. No Aircon. Big glass windows. In lunch break, people leave to buy 1,5 liter bottles of water for insanely cheap. Everyone! Has! These! Bottles! Everyone is drinking their water in the lunch break. Class starts. Everyone is paying attention and is working. Someone asks "hey, could I go to the toilet, please?". Teacher allows them. Everyone else is reminded that toilets exist and how much water they have drunk. A bunch of people ask one by one if they could go to the toilet and the teacher allows it one by one. At some point, literally everyone who had to visit the toilet but 1 person went to the toilet, and she exclaims "stop asking! Just go when no one is already on the toilet!". The student gets up immediately and walks to the door and before they had the chance of opening the door. She screams "what are you doing?!!??" They respond "I want to go to the toilet." And she screams "don't you know that you have to ask!???". We were very confused.

Now, that's cool stuff. Much better than teachers parroting religious stuff.

Yeah that rings a bell, I think it was something to do with its position being a probability density function rather than anything deterministic that orbital mechanics could offer

8th grade Earth Science teacher. I shared a fun little factoid I had just learned: if you’re standing on the North Pole, every direction is south.
She disagreed and spent like 20 minutes explaining why that was wrong. I didn’t understand most of what she was trying to convey, but I do remember hearing “you can go north but in a southerly direction.”

Had a substitute teacher once who thought that the word Hell was a bad word even when referring to the location.
