Give him back his job - have a legitimate debate on what is appropriate for what age. It sounds like this should be no problem for a high school class.

I just am floored by the hypocracy shown on this thread. The guy was an ART teacher. He had NO business showing this...it's his agenda. If it were anything else but abortion you guys would not only be calling for his resignation, you'd be calling for criminal charges. When it comes to abortion with you guys, all common sense and propriety go out the window.

"The guy was an ART teacher. "

It depends on the object of the art lesson.
I know in our local high school the students were encouraged to put together collages that made a political/worldview statement.
They could make any statement they wanted - liberal/conservative/pro-choice/pro-life...as long as it was not pornographic or loaded with profanity.

We can't tell from this article what the object of the lesson was, but art will often make a statement - express an opinion that people can agree/disagree with.
You don't think there art teachers out there making liberal pro-choice art in their classrooms?

"If it were anything else but abortion you guys would not only be calling for his resignation, you'd be calling for criminal charges. "

You are putting words in peoples' mouths.
On what grounds should this man be criminally charged?
This is an issue between teacher/administration/parents as to what is appropriate for the classroom.

"When it comes to abortion with you guys, all common sense and propriety go out the window."

It looks like you've got your own issues, and if this art teacher had made a film about the wonders of Planned Parenthood - you wouldn't be in such a snit.
