He also introduced a resolution calling for students to be taught that U.S. culture is superior, and he advocated the removal of an openly gay teacher from the classroom at Public School 199 in Sunnyside.

Liberals only advocate for speech they agree with. The three writers it took to write this article for the Daily News couldn't help themselves and slipped these two "crimes" in at the end. If the purpose of education is truth, all American students should be taught the superiority of American culture. I challenge these three writers to name a culture above ours, that has saved the world several times at great sacrifice, and guarantees free speech for this kind of drivel.

And gay marriage may be legal in NY, but there is nothing wrong with Catholic school principals having a problem with teachers whose lifestyles directly oppose the teachings of the Catholic Church. Once in a while the News finds itself unable to resist a story before checking all the facts.

This article makes me wonder what was in that "banned" MLK book (in the end it wasn't, BTW), and if there are others that weren't targeted.

Do you know anything about “American Renaissance”? Is it what is claimed in your opinion? I don’t trust a thing the NY Daily News says.

This guy Varela probably doesn’t even vaguely know the principal.

What’s he doing in a church on Fordham Rd, The Bronx when he lives in Queens - that isn’t his parish. He’s not even in the right borough.

Varela, who is Catholic but lives in Queens, said he sat in a pew during the 10 a.m. Mass. At one point he stood up, walked to the altar, faced parishioners and began railing against Borzellieri.

I forgot to add that a Catholic who interrupts the Sacrament of the Eucharist for political reasons immediately excommunicates himself and is no longer a Catholic. The Daily News would have been correct to say "Varela, who identifies himself as a Catholic..."

The MSM (and especially the Daily News) has an axe for Catholicism. It got what it wanted here. Catholics believe that a miracle occurs at every Mass, and Jesus Christ is not just present spiritually, but physically in the Church. The News does not have to agree with this belief, for them to ignore it is textbook hypocrisy.

Watch the left come out and condemn this violence...LOLOLOL!

[Hacklehead]

Maenwhile there is no outrage about how the multicultural, pro gay, anti US curriculum has turned our schools from being top tier to complete wastes of money.

The school system needs 1000 more Principals like Borzellieri.

Varela, who is Catholic

Either he is Catholic, or he is a person who interrupts Masses.

The reporter should pick one or the other.

Can't help but wonder if Juan is a proud member of La Raza.
