FORT WORTH, Texas, September 29, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The teacher responsible for suspending a student after he expressed opposition to homosexuality has been placed on administrative leave with pay.
Last week, Western Hills High School teacher Kristopher Franks retaliated against high school freshman and honors student Dakota Ary after he was overheard telling one other student that he believes homosexuality is wrong because of his Christian faith. The conversation, held during a class discussion on religious beliefs in Germany, arose when one student asked what Germans thought about homosexuality in relation to religion.
Ary says the instructor “started yelling” upon hearing the boy’s statement, and charged him with “possible bullying” before sending him to the principal’s office for discipline, where he received a two-day in-class suspension. The sentence was reduced to one day after Ary’s mother confronted the principal.

In a press release Wednesday, Liberty Counsel attorneys representing Dakota note that the same instructor had displayed a picture of two men kissing and encouraged his students to accept homosexuality. Many of the students were offended by Franks’ actions and his continually bringing up the topic of homosexuality in a German language class, the lawyers allege.
After attorneys sent a demand letter to the school and then met with school officials, the school district reversed the in-school suspension and placed Franks on administrative leave with pay.
Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver said that his group was pleased with the school’s response thus far, although the teacher should “apologize publicly” to Ary.
“It is intolerable for the teacher to ridicule the religious beliefs of students in front of class,” said Staver. “This teacher should not force his views about homosexuality upon students.”
It’s a german class. Shouldn’t the teacher be declining verbs or umlauting vowels or something? How the heck did he drift into homosexual indoctrination?

Can the parents get a court injunction on the bully liberal “teacher” from getting closer than, say, 50 feet of the student?
He may be gone if they can find someone to replace him as a German teacher.
They are sweeping this under the rug.
See Post 19......he is already back at work. They investigated “the matter” and decided “...the matter had been resolved and that Franks would go back to work...”
Why is just the teacher being punished.
It was the principal who actually suspended the student.
The principal should be ‘put on leave’ as well.
Actually, they should both be fired.
And what the hell has homsexuality to do with a German language class? This teacher was pushing and agenda and pushing buttons to intentionally flush out those who disagree with him.
If anyone is a bully it is the teacher.

Buttenrammenfudgenpackers!
Let's not forget the principal's role in this.
Go rent the movie Waiting For Superman and see how hard it is to fire a teacher no matter what they have done to deserve it.
That’s current events news for ya. By the time something gets printed or even put up on a web site it’s all changed.

Muslim Mob Torches Coptic Church in Egypt

Cairo: October 1, 2011. (AINA) After Friday prayers today, a mob of several thousand Muslims from the village of Elmarinab in Edfu, Aswan province, demolished and torched St. George’s church, which was being renovated? The mob demolished the dome, walls and columns, then went to the church depot where the lumber to be used for construction was stored and torched it. The fire lasted 2 hours but the attack continued until 7 PM.
In an interview on Coptic TV channel, Father Salib of St. George’s Church said “the Imam of one of the village mosques called on the people to take matter in their own hands, he added. Other witnesses named the Imam as Sheikh Sabry.
According to eyewitnesses the Muslims also torched a large depot of electrical goods owned by a Copt, a supermarket and four Coptic homes. Muslims prevented the fire brigade from entering the village. Security forces, which were present, “stood there watching,” said Mr.Michael Ramzy, a social worker at the church.
Old news. The teacher was back in the classroom to assault kids on Friday.
Somebody better sue that sick, fudge-packing teacher Kristopher Franks’ ass off.
With pay? This cockroach defender of faggots gets time off ......... with pay? In my day we called that a vacation.
The teacher is either gay or simply brain-washed. Look at publications like NEA Today. They have been pushing this thing since Bill Clinton was elected in 1992.
But as for the district they are between a rock and a hard-place. The elites even in Fort Worth are gay-friendly. The public is much more conservative, but the politician will please those who pay for their campaigns.
Front page of the NYT? ;_)
That degenerate should be fired.
