Find a small midwestern catholic high school and you can teach history any 
way you wish as long as it doesn't include mentioning devil worshiping. 
Trust me on this, I'm not exaggerating much. Those schools are quite 
different than public schools in so many ways. A geology professor friend 
of mine says he much prefers catholic school students to public school 
students in his intro classes. No intelligent design ideas making noise in 
the background and more often than not students with better basic research 
skills. Catholic high schools are staffed with a high number of 
non-catholics in the midwest. There may be a couple in KC worth looking 
into. In MO I believe parochial school teachers do not have to meet the 
same certification standards as public school teachers. This was true a few 
years ago when I last looked into it for a friend from the Czech Republic 
who was looking for a teaching job there.
