Actually the teacher is usually just removed from the classroom and assigned to petty administrative duties until he decides to go away.

His lawyer was on the Factor tonight. (ACLU type.) They will probably end up giving him tenure and a big fat raise for this... oh better yet, how about a civil suit for millions, or maybe a book or movie rights? The possibilities are endless.

A perfect reason for homeschooling.

Would it be easier to fire him if he was trashing Islam?

[Fred Nerks]

Unfrickenbelievable!

Jan, you gotta see this.

The kid should sue the school for making him listen that ca@p!
Than maybe some things would change.

This "teacher", judging from his voice and his picture, is about 23 years old. If they can't fire him for the garbage that came out of his mouth in a GEOGRAPHY class, then the system is really broken and should be scrapped.

My wife is a high school spanish teacher and she has to eat lunch in her room because she can't stand all the "Bush bashing" at the teachers lunch table. She even told me one of the history teachers showed his students a movie about how Bush rigged the election! And the worst part is SHE TEACHES IN A PRIVATE CATHOLIC SCHOOL so your kids arent safe anywhere...

"What does it take to fire a teacher?"

I can summon the whole statute in three words:

Death or retirment.

I guess it is easier to pass a background check as a pedophile going into the school as opposed to be fired for "ACT UP" type pedophile activities or flirting while working there.

This guy obviously has his head up his ass, bet air America gives him a radio spot.

Let's not forget that things are looking up. Bennish's exposure was thanks to a pupil's MP3 player being available to record his idiocy. There's an army of pupils out there with MP3 recorders, cell phone cameras etc., that could be motivated to grab evidence of lunacy from all sides of the spectrum, although I suspect we all know the motherlode would be found - on the left.

Combine that with the proven amplification capacity of our online media and we are growing some answerback capacity the NEA should be terrified by...

Fire him? Sheesh, the administration will pay him extra to go on the lecture circuit.

[Shooter1001]

Incredible!!! The last time I got fired was on a Friday evening while I was home at dinner. Phone rang...'We won't be needing you any more. Your personal things will be Fedexed to you next week to this address....'
I had worked there for over 4 years. No reason given.

I should have majored in Education!

[MinuteGal]

Well, he's lawyered up, unioned up and probably toked up.

What more can a good teacher ask for?
