In the 'Creationist Teacher' case described by Jennifer Lackey (2008), a teacher named Stella, who is a creationist, does not believe or know that homo sapiens evolved from homo erectus. Despite her lack of belief, she teaches this fact to her fourth-grade students, who come to know the fact based on her testimony. This case is used to argue that the Transmission View's necessity condition (TV-N) is false because testimonial knowledge can be generated from a speaker who lacks the knowledge in question.
