On June 3, 2020, I was fired from my post as department chairman for publicly opposing and mocking the inherent terrorism of the Black Lives Matter movement. A doxxing-type petition arose against me early in the day; I was “canceled” before dinnertime.
Notably, unlike others who have faced similar forms of cancellation, I was not dismissed from a large secular state college or a public institution of secondary education, where capitulation to the mob is somewhat to be expected. This was a conservative, Catholic high school, whose theology department (which I chaired) rejects ab initio the ontological essentials of BLM .
In other words, most of the recent firings by openly Marxist employers—such as the Regents of the University of California—boil down to nondescript “dog bites man” ledes. But my narrative falls far closer to “man bites dog,” given the antipathy with which Roman Catholic theology has typically regarded the Marxist neo-terrorism that postconciliar parochial schools are lately endorsing or condoning.

There are peaceful protesters out there. There have also been a lot of vandals, rioters, and looters operating under the cover the former provide. Some of the former have turned into the latter.
That some people are unable to admit this is a sad statement on the state of the world.
There's a lot more to it than that.
He's a rabble rouser who intentionally pushes the envelope. Of course he has every legal right to but the Diocese has every right to get fed up.
“She said ‘Some people complained that you hurt their feelings.”

What a bunch of BS.
Looks like it doesn’t matter if your feelings got hurt.
That’s the gun grabbers’ rationale to disarm us!
“Anyone can snap, therefore no one should own a gun.”
So glad I’m retired (uncancellable?) with a short lifespan left. These days it’s like being 85 years old in Berlin in 1945.
ONE ChiCom military laboratory did this to us!

Read a letter by Margret Sanger who wanted birth control for the Negroes, Jews, and Italians (Catholics?)
Interesting article on Irish Catholic immigration in the 1840’s and 1850’s, how they were hated and “fundamental belief that Catholicism was incompatible with basic American values”

How about the people who like me whose feelings were hurt? boy oh boy I’ve been madder than a hornet. (and relieved to be gone).
He’s totally credible, regardless of your standards.
This happened to a religion teacher a year ago at my daughters Catholic school- (K-8) not for posting something but because he taught controversial things like marriage is between a man and woman and that abortion is wrong. The lib kids told their parents and the diocese ran him out. We came to his defense as he was absolutely the basis for sending our daughter to a catholic school- but to no avail. I let my daughter attend the next year with mixed feelings because the alternative here in nova is horrible. The woman who picked up her kids in front of me had a hippies for Hillary bumper sticker need I say more about the state of the Catholic Church and catholic education. It mirrors the culture.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
I have to point out that Niemöler's quote has been often misrepresented over the years; interestingly, despite being held in a concentration camp himself, he actually made no mention of the Jews.
Here is his actual quote; I've put the key words in bold. (A "Gewerkschafter" translates roughly to a tradesman in a union.):
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist.
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.
Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich geschwiegen, ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.
Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

(Your point, however, is very well-stated.)
Is the author by the name of Dr. Taylor Marshall?

MAybe SOrros should cancel Sorros. THis story that a jew sending jews to NAzi death camps is fine is a psychosis that must end.
Nearly every teacher in this nation has been trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities. This is true for private schools, too. SCARY!
I was very active on Free Republic on school issues but not very much in the past few years. I honestly feel it is too late to do much to change the direction that K-12 schooling is leading this country.
