Can we all agree that:

1. The teacher, while i definitely loved what he said, maybe overstepped his professional boundaries a little bit...

2. If the teacher gave some screed worthy of Ann Coulter, our little bastard freep of a student (which evidently some in this thread think is a hero) would have kept his mouth shut and been silently cheering.

3. If the father/student truly had a grievance, then they obviously went the WRONG way in trying to find a proper resolution...About 12 years ago, I was in a Catholic high school, and one of the religion teachers was considered by many in the school to be 'flaming lib trash'(i.e., moderate dem)---He had such radical notions about Christianity being about peace, love, helping your fellow man, and being tolerant of other religions...More than a few sets of parents had a problem with him, but instead of trying to pimp their story to the news, they actually went to the principal, and the diocese to try to get him removed (every attempt failed, and he is still teaching)
