Reasonable people dispute books they disagree with, they don't immitate Nazi's. The Jerusalem Post wrote an editorial on the subject here: Teach, don't burn (December 28)

Let's put an exclamation point on this, please. The poll is closer than I would have thought.

Reprimand him, don't dismiss. I read this charming short story last month. The Conversion of the Jews by Philip Roth, from Jewish Short Stories. I'll see if I can find it online. Reminds me of this thread.

While I disagree with the burning (and clicked yes to "dismiss"), I was really surprised to hear this story broadcast on ABC Radio News a couple of days ago.

When an American sixth grade teacher burned an American flag in the classroom and blamed the 9/11 attacks on America, ABC Radio News was silent.

If we are going to discuss religious freedom in the Middle East, how about American media discussing incidents in Egypt or Saudi Arabia?

Nearly 50% of the respondents do not believe this person should be dismissed.

I wonder if these Jews would be as charitable to a Christian principal that burned the Torah.

The racial double standard: we expect tyrannical behavior from others but criticize Jews when they don't act like Jesus.

Yes now at 57%!

Bump. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't see the poll on the link you provided.
